Jennifer has also tutored for t-sa forum and t-sa forum mini - an architecture school for children. She has led workshops briefing 6-12-year old participants to design a theatre for Peacock Yard - t-sa’s home - taking inspiration from their own life stories and backgrounds.

As Project Architect for Curzon Bloomsbury, Jennifer oversaw the early stages of design development, attended client and team meetings, delivered design specification intent packages, coordinated all design intent, attended regular site meetings and undertook key site decisions with the design team, contractors and clients. Jennifer worked closely with Camden’s Conservation Team and Curzon’s development and marketing teams, balancing commercial viability, customer experience and the built architectural heritage, both past and future.

As Project Architect for Leicester Print Workshop, Jennifer worked closely with the Client team, especially during construction when the LPW’s wider community became involved to complete internal partitioning for artist studios, wayfinding, shop fit out, external buildings, landscaping and handover to artists and printmakers. In 2016, Jennifer was subsequently awarded RIBA Project Architect of the Year in the East Midlands region following nomination by the LPW director.
