Statement:
I am thrilled to express my support for the Women in Construction and Sustainability in Construction initiatives. Throughout my career as a specialist architectural lighting consultant, I have been committed to creating impactful, thoughtful designs that blend innovation, sustainability, and functionality. From shaping the ambiance of heritage projects to crafting kinetic lighting for dynamic spaces, my portfolio reflects a deep respect for the built environment and its lasting impact on communities.
I have had the privilege of working on diverse projects, including heritage restoration, hospitality lighting, and bespoke product design. These experiences have highlighted the essential intersection of sustainable practices and construction, particularly in lighting, where responsible sourcing, energy efficiency, and sustainable luminaire design play pivotal roles.
I am passionate about empowering women to excel in this industry, which has traditionally been underrepresented. Early in my career, I benefited from the mentorship of inspiring professionals, like Sally Storey ( Lighting Design International ) , who taught me the importance of confidently contributing my perspective. I now strive to pass on this support to others through mentorship programmes with both Silhouette Awards and Co -Architecture sharing insights through coaching, speaking engagements, and mentorship to navigate people who are new to the design and construct industries to enable them to have confidence in their careers.
Sustainability is not just a professional focus but a personal value. I have consistently advocated for environmentally conscious design solutions, including reducing waste, integrating energy-efficient systems, alongside preserving historic architecture to ensure its beauty endures for future generations.
Becoming an ambassador for both these initiatives aligns with my vision to contribute meaningfully to an industry that has the power to shape our world sustainably. It also reflects my commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion in construction, ensuring we all have a stronger voice and presence in building a greener future.
