Heather is a Principal and Registered Architect, bringing considerable experience in community-led projects in remote locations across WA and the NT.

Heather believes in the potential of participatory design to enhance lives and empower communities. She led a series of award-winning housing and community infrastructure projects on Groote Eylandt, where she formed meaningful relationships with young women and female Elders across the Archipelago. This approach proved equally valuable in Wadeye and on Tiwi Island, where she guided Traditional Owners through a complex community planning process, helping them articulate and map out their vision for the township’s future.

Heather also manages the practice’s financial health, ensuring projects are delivered on budget and exceed client expectations. Her commitment to both design excellence and operational discipline has been instrumental in building enduring partnerships with remote communities while securing the practice’s long-term sustainability.
