BIO

My interests relate to the transformation of landscapes in rural and urban contexts.


Having worked for London-based multi-disciplinary design practices SOM, Fosters, and BDP, and engineering consultancy (Harris & Sutherland), my practice in France focused on the planning and design of small communities on the Cote d'Azur and in particular traditions and approaches to public participation in planning. 

In 2004, I joined UCD. From 2006-2009, I was acting Head of subject and Director of the undergraduate programme in Landscape Architecture. From 2013-2022, I directed the taught Masters programmes in Landscape Architecture.
