She has experience across housing, education, public realm, and mixed-use precincts.Kali has a PhD from The University of Queensland on built environment value in underserved, informal neighbourhoods. Analysing neighbourhood and street organisation, use and meaning from the perspective of women and children residents in informal settlements in Ahmedabad, India using ethnographic and architectural research methods allowed Kali to understand the significance and physical form of spaces that support spontaneous community interaction, resource acquisition, social networks, and perceptions of safety.Kali is an active member of Parlour, the Urban Design Forum, Urbanistas Brisbane and the Australian Institute of Architects.
