I explore how places shape what we experience and who we become

My work delves into the relationship between people and place, asking how our environments influence how we think, feel, and connect. I’m active across architecture, design, research, art, science, and technology, all in service of one question: how can we design places where people and ecology thrive?

I founded the Centre for Conscious Design and direct Hume, a science-informed architecture and urban design practice. In 2015, I launched the Conscious Cities movement to bring research, practice, and innovation together around creating environments that are collaborative, aware and responsive.

In pursuit of changing the architecture profession I developed two design methodologies. Science-Informed Design, which integrates insights from research, and Conscious Design, which delves deeper into collaborative processes and responsive environments.

I was honoured to be named a “Game Changer” by Metropolis Magazine for transformative ideas in health, social justice, technology, and urbanism. My work and writing have been featured internationally, and I regularly speak at events focused on the built environment and human impact. 

I hope you enjoy exploring parts of my work gathered here, and find that it resonates with your own vision for the future.
