With qualifications in both statutory planning and urban design Giselle has an established track record spanning over fifteen years in NSW, ACT and Victoria.

Her design skills are complemented by a deep understanding of commercial development imperatives, while her planning expertise is supported by detailed knowledge of legislation across jurisdictions. This unique blend of skills enables her to navigate complex planning issues and make informed decisions that balance the needs of all stakeholders.

Giselle has extensive experience in leading large multidisciplinary teams for master planned communities and has prepared and overseen diverse projects, from small-scale commercial developments to entire suburbs, for both government and private developers.

Her experience consulting for renowned companies like Peet Limited and Core Developments has given her a profound appreciation for financial feasibility as a vital element of the design process. She masterfully turns each line she puts down on paper into an opportunity, skillfully fine-tuning the concealed financial and approvability implications within, prioritizing value creation for her clients over a mere professional service.
