Graduating from the University of New South Wales, Shannon returned to Canberra to commence work with a small design and construct company with a strong environmental focus.  These early years of work taught her a great respect for the environment, an ethos of people centric design, and above all else a passion for the sacredness of home.  Dedicated to working towards a world where all people have access to the essential elements of home (safety, comfort, and retreat) Shannon works hard to ensure these spaces are also climate responsive, affordable and joyful spaces to live in.

Shannon has carried out roles as Juror for the Australian Institute of Architects ACT Chapter Awards, the Housing Institute of Australia ACT and Southern Region Awards, and the Housing Institute of Australia National Awards program.  Shannon sits on the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) ACT Chapter Council, the AIA National Council, the AIA Griffin Lecture Committee, and is the current ACT Chapter President for the Australian Institute of Architects.

Shannon is a dedicated contributor to her profession and regularly volunteers her time to ensure the benefits of good architecture are a valued part of the conversation of our cities.  She enjoys public speaking, writing for varied publications, architectural photography and contributing to events big or small that put good design into the hands of everyone.  Shannon is a passionate supporter of modernist architecture and works vigorously to share Canberra’s rich modernist architectural legacy with the public.
