Having commenced her architectural studies at University of Melbourne and completing her degree at RMIT as part of the Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory (SIAL), Jane co-founded the collaborative architecture practice Sibling in 2012.

Jane has now developed her own practice – Heliotope – based on regenerative principles and dedicated to architectural and spatial outcomes that operate within the finite resources of planetary boundaries; and embodying a renewed interest in the specificities of place (south eastern Australia). Her research and multi-disciplinary collaborations contribute to the development of low carbon, climate-adaptive projects; with a focus on emerging technologies, construction industry waste streams and local production economies and ecosystems. She maintains strong ties with academia, leading design studios at Monash University and RMIT.

Heliotope practice ranges from smaller scale residential projects up to larger scale projects that allow for a precinct scale approach to buildings.
