Architect + Systems Designer
Working across the fields of built environment, policy and systems thinking, I focus on evidence-based, participatory design solutions to increase climate resiliency and adaptive urban placemaking for marginalised community groups, particularly displaced individuals, women and young persons.
Some of my specialisms include: biobased materials, reuse and retrofit, public realm design, circular economy, ecology and regenerative work, community engagement, organisational development, forced displacement and migratory studies.
