Working as part of PAD studio for a decade shaping and fostering an environmentally conscious and narrative led approach to architecture.
"We create sustainable spaces and places that offer the chance to be, pause, reflect and grow. Places to retreat to, to be sheltered by. Places that nurture the soul. Places to commune with others. Beautiful places that offer a sense of wonder to all those who encounter and experience them. Places that give back and speak of the people and setting that they belong to – back in time and looking forward to the future."
As sustainable architects and proud B Corp members since 2023, we bring decades of diverse experience to our work. Guided by the landscapes and contexts we inhabit; we craft site-specific responses that respect and enhance their surroundings. We specialise in creating sustainable architecture within highly protected and designated landscapes, often navigating complex planning challenges. PAD studio works with a flexible network of like-minded engineers, landscape architects, and contractors who support us throughout the design and construction process. We regularly collaborate with experts and academics to enrich our practice and drive innovation. We are always learning - evolving our methods, teaching, sharing knowledge, and giving back to the communities we serve.
With over 15 years’ experience of strategic marketing in the built environment, I have previously worked at some well-known names within the industry. I’ve had an exciting career so far, working on research projects to unlock growth for companies, implementing strategies for international markets throughout Europe as well as developing and launching products through multi-channel campaigns. Sustainability is a big passion of mine – the ever increasing threat of the climate emergency means that sustainable thinking needs to be at the heart of all strategies. I have experience in reviewing a company’s carbon impact by looking at scopes 1 -3. With this data, I was able to contribute to creating roadmaps and translate them into successful commercial strategy. I’m thrilled to have founded Urban Fox Marketing, which is all my passion and knowledge (and curiosity) poured into a marketing consultancy, tailored to each client.
