Strategic Urban Design Director with over 17 years of experience across UK projects, specialising in placemaking, masterplanning, and urban design leadership. Known for combining artistic vision with technical pragmatism, I have led the expansion of Place by Design from a reserved matters-focused studio to a more strategic design practice—delivering planning and design strategies for medium-scale residential developments, typically up to 500 homes. These projects often involve multiple stakeholders, technical constraints, and evolving planning contexts.
Recognised Practitioners
Professionals with a suitable balance of education and experience can apply to become a Recognised Practitioner in Urban Design. The distinction provides a wide range of professionals with a valued affiliation (in many cases an additional one), proclaiming their commitment to and experience of urban design.
