Building <div>In 2015, I moved home to the Philippines to establish a multi award-winning design firm, Plaza + Partners, where I lead a team of 30 architects, interior designers and urban planners. We take on large projects such as a city development plan for Manila, a thirteen hectare sports and cultural complex, hotels, office towers, private homes, but also small ones like a thirteen square meter mobile house - basically, we like projects that improve life and the way people live.<br><br>Alongside this, I am a Director at Anthology Festival, Southeast Asia’s largest architecture and design gathering where we bring together over 5,000 people and hundreds of leaders in the built environment, including principals and directors from Arup, Bjarke Ingels Group, Foster + Partners, MVRDV and Shigeru Ban. I am also a Global Shaper of The World Economic Forum, where I have spoken on international panels and keynotes on designing cities in the fourth industrial revolution.<br><br>Prior to returning home, I spent almost a decade abroad, pursuing degrees at the University of Cambridge, University of Bath, University of Hong Kong and the Architectural Association. I worked at John McAslan and Partners and Jestico + Whiles on projects that include the Natural History Museum in London, Greenwich Millennium and the King’s Cross Station. <br><br>If you are interested in any of the above, please do send me a message!</div>
