"Collaboration leads to more balanced, rigorous and effective outcomes," she says. "It's also much more fun".

Amanda brings clarity to complex urban design issues and is an exceptional communicator with experience in community engagement and workshop facilitation.

As well as being a key contributor to the practice projects, Amanda sits on design review panels for the Victorian, South Australian, New South Wales and Queensland governments. She says whether she's sitting on a panel or working with a client, as an urban designer, it's her role to help ensure a project will contribute to diverse, successful and delightful public environments.
