Amy joins us a Graduate Landscape Architect, and is a motivated and dedicated individual with excellent attention to detail. She is confident working in teams, working independently and efficiently, and presenting to diverse groups of people. Her overarching design interests include a fascination with large urban and rural systems and conversely detailed design interventions, with the provisional and cumulative, change over time, public interactivity, materiality, and cultural meaning and traces. She is also passionate about writing, both quantitative report writing and more theoretical, qualitative writing. A graduate from Victoria University, her time studying and tutoring in landscape architecture has enabled her to effectively approach a wide range of problems with curiosity, enthusiasm and well-developed time management and interpersonal skills.
