At ARM I’m a project architect and I enjoy the collaborative aspects of delivering projects. I always relish the early design phases of any project and it’s exciting to be there on day one. I like talking to people about their project, forming relationships and navigating volumes of information so I can understand and interpret requirements and to capture the big-picture aspirations. I love working with multi-disciplinary teams and helping make decisions.
Recently, I’ve also been developing ARM’s corporate social responsibility and social procurement policies. This is a natural extension of work I’ve also done in establishing ARM’s environmental management system, and meeting the challenges we’ve committed to as part of the Australian Architects Declare campaign.
I’m a Green Star Associate with the Green Building Council of Australia. I’m really interested in sustainable design because buildings are responsible for a significant proportion of the energy we consume, both in their construction and occupation.
Environmental sustainability is something that we consider from the beginning of each project to the end. Sustainable development goes beyond being environmentally responsible to social awareness and responsibility too.
