Turning Landscape into Legacy
Tamayo Wolf
I work outdoors most days.
I design and restore landscapes—orchards, vineyards, and lived-in ground—places that have to function and hold up over time.
Before this, I was an engineer. I worked at Intel and later at Microsoft, designing test frameworks for large systems. My job wasn’t to design how things should work, but to interrogate how they actually did—where stress accumulated, where assumptions lived, where behavior diverged from intent.
That way of looking carried over.
In the margins of my work, I write novels and essays. They come from the same place.
The fiction examines belief under pressure—inside families, institutions, and systems that continue to function even after meaning has thinned. The nonfiction stays closer to the ground, asking how coherence is built and maintained in places where visibility, trust, and choice are not neutral.
I’m drawn to moments where belief quietly changes direction.
Books and Essays
SUPERPOSITION
A brilliant physicist discovers that probability itself is collapsing—that the universe is converging toward a single, irreversible outcome. Her attempt to escape that fate fractures more than space and time. It creates something else: a sentient force born of superposition, an entity that exists everywhere at once and fears only one thing—being resolved.

DEFENSIVE LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Defensive Landscaping is about building food-producing landscapes in a world of pressure: pests, soil fatigue, water scarcity, browsing animals, weather volatility, and human neglect. It treats gardens, orchards, and vineyards not as expressions of abundance, but as systems under constant attack—biological, environmental, and structural.
THE COHERENT WEBSITE: Designing for Trust in the Age of Search
This book is for founders, designers, marketers, and business owners who are tired of fixing symptoms while the underlying structure continues to fail. It shows why most SEO advice fragments websites instead of strengthening them, why traffic alone no longer protects you, and why trust—once lost—is difficult to recover.
PendrAGON BLOG
The essays move through orchard design, vineyard structure, soil orientation, pruning logic, and long-term maintenance, alongside reflections on why some systems hold together and others don’t. The emphasis is on coherence: aligning plants, terrain, climate, and human intention so that a landscape can persist without constant correction.
