Strategic Planner and Urban Designer
Strategic Planner and Urban Designer
I am a strategic planner and urban designer with a background in illustration. I am passionate about strong concepts and design principles, sustainable development and equitable places. I am experienced in engaging with the development process from strategy and policy development to design.
I have worked on research projects, strategic spatial planning frameworks, town centre strategies and large scale masterplans for clients like DLUHC, Homes England and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
I helped to develop the National Model Design Code with colleagues and national government and have just co-authored a book about the future of UK high streets.
Undertaking policy and design reviews, providing quality assurance and taking on the role of a "critical friend" to guide the direction of a project.
Using a creative mix of mapping, data, qualitative research and imagery to get under the skin of a research topic or place, identifying unique insights.
Masterplanning and strategic spatial planning. Developing concept, setting key design principles and coding.
Creating a unique and pragmatic vision for a place based on reality not marketing. A strong narrative that actually translates into the design, backed up with compelling imagery.
