Kate believes that successful architecture stems from the desire to create a positive user-experience. Through creative, adaptive and responsible design we may create spaces that are not only engaging but contribute to the development of a sense of place, community and well-being.Kate has a specific interest in Healthcare, and her decision to direct her career in the sector of Healthcare Architecture was driven by her previous experiences working in a clinical healthcare environment as a Genetic Counsellor. She is a strong advocate for professional mentorship and believes that this helps to cultivate a healthy studio culture as well as a more mindful and informed approach to design.When not at work, Kate enjoys spending time outside; either bushwalking, horse riding, gardening, or simply reading a good book in the sun.
