Bridget is straightforward and easy-going, with a clear communication style and a relaxed, get-it-done approach that keeps projects moving. She has worked across urban design, masterplanning and sustainable multi-residential housing projects. Bridget is drawn to work that starts with deep site research, and brings in elements of co-design, so the people who’ll use a place can help shape it.

Good design, for Bridget, has integrity: it expresses its surrounding context and responds to the people it’s intended for. A university exchange in Vancouver, Canada, reinforced Bridget’s love of nature and regenerative design, which feeds into her love of rock climbing, running and hiking.

Kayleb Wilson-Crosbie,
Architectural Graduate

Bachelor of Architecture, RMIT
Master of Architecture, RMIT University

Kayleb brings a strong understanding of constructability and visual communication to Fieldwork – two things he sees as fundamental to achieving good architecture. He’s as comfortable working through the logic of how something gets built as he is crafting the drawings and representations that bring an idea to life.

He’s drawn to social housing and policy-driven projects, where design can improve neighbourhoods for people who don’t always have a say. Good design, in his view, needs to be honest and empathetic – with an authentic dialogue between the building and the people and place it serves.

Kayleb is on the BIM and Technology committee.
