I’m a graduate urban designer within Stantec’s Masterplanning team. I contribute to the design and development of sustainable, inclusive, and future-ready urban environments. My role involves supporting senior designers and planners in delivering masterplans for a wide range of projects, from small-scale housing schemes to larger mixed-use developments. So far, I’ve been involved in various stages of the design process, from site analysis and concept development to producing documents that effectively communicate our vision to clients and stakeholders. It’s a dynamic role that helps me strengthen my core design skills but gain knowledge by working within multidisciplinary teams.
One of the most interesting projects I’ve worked on involved creating four vision documents for two adjacent sites, each with two development scenarios—one for leisure and one for residential uses. I helped design diagrams to show how each proposal would work and compiled contextual information to highlight the site’s potential. The contrasting schemes made it exciting to explore different design approaches and collaborate with the multidisciplinary team to present compelling, tailored options to the client.
