Victoria is an experienced urban designer, architect and board director with nearly three decades of practice across the UK, Europe, Asia.

Her central belief is that thoughtful design can make a difference to the quality of people’s lives and that successful architecture is a creative blend of poetry and pragmatism.

Based largely in London, Victoria’s career has intentionally spanned varied studio cultures and building typologies — from listed buildings and one-off icons (such as Richard Rogers’ Montevetro), to complex neighbourhood-scale projects including the regeneration of Portobello Road in Notting Hill.

She joined Conran and Partners in 2010, was appointed to the Board in 2016, and was named Partner in 2018 by Sir Terence Conran, recognising her practice-wide leadership. In this role, she:

- Co-developed and managed the strategic business and creative output of the practice across the London and Hong Kong studios
- Strongly influenced the growth of the studio culture, including team career development, and driving policies such as the practice Equality, Diversity & Inclusivity agenda.
- Spearheaded profile-raising and new business initiatives
- Partner lead on major urban design and architectural projects across housing, public realm and neighbourhood making

Beyond practice, Victoria serves as a Non-Executive Director of the Academy of Urbanism, including roles as European City of the Year Assessor and City Diagnostic Chair, contributing to urban policy discourse.

She regularly speaks, writes, judges and chairs events on the role of design in city-making — and was featured in Architecture Today’s podcast series, 6 Women Who Shape the City.

Now based in Brisbane, Victoria is continuing her commitment to inclusive, place-led design in the next chapter of her career in Australia.
