Insightful research and writing
Informed by a decade working in urban design and sustainability.
The goal with all my writing is to explain the complexities of urban sustainability and inspire climate action.
My articles have been published in the Journal of Biophilic Design and The Planner. I've contributed extensively to professional reports and copywriting related to urban design and sustainability.
Below are a selection of recent writing projects highlighting my range of experience.
Get in touch to discuss writing commissions for research reports, thought leadership, blog articles and copywriting.

Research Reports
Climate Adaptation Recommendations for Bethnal Green Nature Reserve
Client: Bethnal Green Nature Reserve Trust
I prepared this research report for a nature reserve in London to provide insights into how the dominant tree species at the reserve may be affected by climate change up to 2050. The study also provides management recommendations to build ecological resilience and plan for future climate scenarios.
Recommendations to Improve Biodiversity Net Gain in Practice
Client: Design South East and EDLA
I chaired a workshop with a group of landscape architects and ecologists based in Kent to explore how Biodiversity Net Gain is being applied in practice and how it could be improved to maximise the benefits for placemaking, people and nature. I summarised the key recommendations and shared them with Natural England and the wider sector.
