Senior Sustainability Consultant

My passion is design and sustainability. I enjoy working collaboratively with the client and design team and to develop creative solutions that have tangible results.

I have an architectural and product research background, which offers me a unique perspective on projects.

A project works best when a sustainable approach is chosen right from the start. I assist in integrating environmental aims into the design process, helping a project’s sustainability credentials to be truly interwoven.

I’m keen to help clients and designers understand and communicate sustainable design well. As well as holding and facilitating Sustainability Workshops for clients, I’ve written sustainable design guides and generated masterplan key performance indicators. I have also written a property selection tool and sustainability design manual for the British Council to help ’green’ their offices all around the world.

Sustainability involves so much more than energy. I’m interested in looking at environmental footprinting, corporate social responsibility and behaviour change too. My previous role at One Planet Products allowed me to research the impact of materials on both human health and the environment, something I continue to explore in the context of current projects.
