Passionate about the potential of architecture to bring about positive social and environmental change, her experiences have led to her expertise in the briefing process and community engagement. She enjoys working directly with client, stakeholders, end users and the community - developing trust to allow for a collaborative design process. Listening, learning and honing in on detailed project specific needs, to establish a clear understanding of aspirations and requirements.
These experiences and specific skills are well suited to Harriet's specialism in Healthcare design; working with a focus on cross sector stakeholder engagement throughout all work stages, Harriet leads on project knowledge and business development for the Health and Community Sector at the practice.
