Specialising in the sustainability of the built environment, with particular expertise in the circular economy and how this applies to materials, structures and buildings. Her work has covered both increasing the use of reclaimed materials and designing to facilitate future reuse. She has vast experience working in both the public and private sector, in an advisory, client and research capacity, and at all scales from industry-wide initiatives, to focussing on cities, projects, organisations and products.
