Kim advocates for the prioritisation of design quality in policy and projects, for the benefit of the end-user and the community, and with a special interest in housing and mixed-use projects.

Before joining the Government Architect, Kim held roles in local government, as a project leader for a major developer’s design team, and in architectural practice. Projects have included single houses through to multi-residential apartment developments, retail and public projects. This has given her a broad understanding of pursuing the best outcomes against a backdrop of community, program and budget imperatives.

A registered architect with over 30 years in the industry, Kim has also been involved in business development, tutoring university architectural design studios and contributing to public forums on architectural practice.
