She has collaborated with a range of world renowned architects including Daniel Libeskind, Renzo Piano, Hopkins, RSHP and David Chipperfield Architects. Over a decade spent leading a variety of structurally challenging projects has given her a wealth of experience to draw upon.

She has a flair for rapidly identifying the key issues of a site and developing innovative solutions, underpinned by technical excellence, to bring these to fruition. She has led a range of complex projects including Great Ormond Street Hospital’s new Cancer Centre, Brunel’s AMCC3 warehouse comprising a double-height workshop and staff amenity space, and The Bio-Therapeutics Hub for Innovation, managing vibration control and demanding loads.

A pragmatic and realistic designer, she champions the importance of buildability, form and aesthetics when designing projects that add value.

She has a reputation for building strong project teams, combining the right people as appropriate to the task and stage at hand. This includes her role as civil & structural lead on the Palace of Westminster’s Restoration and Renewal Programme, where she manages a team of highly skilled engineers in delivering this complex phased project on a live site, involving multiple stakeholders. With proven skills in the delivery of major, complex and architecturally challenging projects, she has proactively and efficiently steered diplomatically sensitive projects to successful conclusions.
