Biography

I am interested in joining the City Architecture Forum because my work sits at the intersection of stakeholder engagement, relationship building and the built environment. Through Thissen Consulting, I lead independent stakeholder and client listening exercises for architecture, engineering and construction organisations, helping practices better understand external perceptions, client relationships and strategic opportunities.

My interest in architecture began with my academic background in architectural history and has developed further through years of working closely with professionals across the sector. Alongside this, I spent 18 years working in diplomatic environments, which shaped my approach to communication, facilitation and relationship management.

CAF’s focus on dialogue, collaboration and the future of the built environment strongly resonates with both my professional work and personal interests. I would value the opportunity to contribute to and learn from the conversations, perspectives and networks within the forum
