Her international education and registration with the Architects Board of Western Australia (ABWA) provide a global perspective on architectural practice.

What does ultrapractical mean to you? At Orms, I’m working on One Hanover Street, a large-scale commercial retrofit project of a Grade II Listed Building. The project enhances an already iconic building to match it’s Oxford Street prestige, though the sensitive refurbishment of a revitalised and renewed office space. I lead the Interiors team, drawing on my varied experience across residential, commercial, retrofit, education and public infrastructure projects. To me, being ultrapractical means applying diverse experience to find solutions that balance preservation with enhancement, creating spaces that serve their users while respecting environmental imperatives.
