I am a Practice Director.

Background:

My past experience includes large scale residential work, both private and affordable, educational projects and masterplanning covering all work stages.

I have spent a number of years working in London and across the South West. I also have experience working in Tanzania, where I provided architectural assistance on the conservation and restoration of a 19th century building. And I was a volunteer project manager for a Tanzanian charity providing new sustainable kitchens for rural schools.

Professional Interests:

I am passionate about taking a holistic approach to design, building relationships and working collaboratively to benefit the wider community and environment.

I have a strong interest in sustainable and innovative design and how we can make a positive impact.

The projects I am involved with have provided me the opportunity to utilise and develop my interests: schemes that support ecological and habitat enhancements, house designs that employ sustainable construction, and a development that provides local employment. I enjoy collaborating with the consultants and have learnt much from them.

And in the rest of life …

I have recently discovered the joy of cycling, so much so I now cycle to work!  This  new found pleasure fits our family’s enjoyment of camping adventures and exploring the UK’s coastline.

My husband is a silversmith, so I have taken the opportunity to learn a little myself. I love the creativity, the range of techniques and the freedom to create unique pieces.

I am also extremely passionate about travelling and am fascinated by other cultures. My list of places to visit is never ending – there is so much to see and experience out there!
