Frances is approachable, organised and practical, with a clear and considered communication style that clients respond well to. She’s drawn to residential and community-focused projects where design has a direct, daily impact on how people live – favouring spaces that feel calm and well resolved over anything overdesigned.

Living through a major renovation of her family home as a teenager sparked her interest in architecture. The natural beauty of Sydney’s harbour and bushland shaped her appreciation for buildings that respond well to climate and landscape.
