Catherine completed her architectural studies with distinction at the University of Sheffield and was awarded a prize for environmental design. In 2013, Catherine joined the practice and has since played a key role in the delivery of a number of award winning projects including Abode at Great Kneighton in Cambridge. 

Recently Catherine led the team preparing the Riverside Sunderland Masterplan - the project will reinvent the city centre and create 1,000 new homes, workspace and community facilities. She also led the early stages of the Carpenters Estate Masterplan where she worked closely with the community. The proposals deliver a public realm structure that reflects the vibrancy of London’s historic neighbourhoods. 

Catherine is an intrepid explorer of the world and enjoys rock climbing, cycling and skiing.
