About Samantha
I am a Graduate of Architecture, a Designer with experience in design, cultural consulting, research and project management.
My Story
I am a Wiradyuri woman who lives in Sydney and works with communities all across NSW.
Over the last eight years I have developed project experience across multiple sectors including residential, commercial, cultural design, urban design, art, and civic projects.
I have previously worked at MarraYeh, Djinjama, Billard Leece Partnership, SJB, Design Inc & Lend Lease where I have had the opportunity to hone my design, project management and leadership skills.
My Practice
I have a passion to further First Nations’ perspective, culture and history in the design of buildings and the broader built environment. This has informed my practice and through my experience working on diverse projects I have developed skills into creating culturally sensitive design and engaging authentically with First Nations Communities.
Why I do this work
I work for Country, to better how built spaces care for and work with Country. I’m also motivated to give back to communities and people who deserve, and have the right to access, better public spaces and homes that reflect their culture and support wellbeing and belonging.
My values and beliefs
01
Give back
Reciprocity. Giving back to the communities and Country I work with.
02
Respect
Country, culture and community. Listening first, and letting that guide every decision.
03
Be a good custodian
Caring for Country and the places I design, now and for generations to come.
