About the speaker

TL;DR: Urban Design is about designing the relationship between you and me.

Hello. I am an Urban Designer with a global perspective with a career spanning New York City, London and Dubai, and this allows me to evolve global best-practice urbanism strategies to the Middle East region. My focus is on urban residential projects and urban intensification strategies, investigating the evolution of living and working patterns across the next generation of cities. At DLR Group, I lead the masterplanning studio and my dual training provides me with additional tools to explore innovative ways to define the relationships between the urban morphology and building typologies, to better address the developmental needs of an area. I firmly believes a 21st century urban environment owes us more than the current model provides and I am passionate about discovering ways to evolve it.
