Pippa began her career at a leading commercial interior design firm, where she worked as an intern while completing her Bachelor of Design (Interior Architecture) at Victoria University of Wellington. After graduating, she moved to London to complete her Overseas Experience (O.E.).

While based in London, Pippa worked as a junior designer and completed her Master’s degree in Architecture and Interior Design. Her advanced academic qualifications have enabled her to teach at several universities and polytechnics since returning to New Zealand.

Living, working, studying, and travelling in London—combined with easy access to Europe—provided Pippa with a broad and diverse foundation of design inspiration that continues to inform her work today.

Although she gained valuable international experience, New Zealand is where Pippa has chosen to settle and where she has accumulated the majority of her professional experience within architecture and design practices.

Pippa is widely recognised for her strong commitment to sustainability and was trained as a founding New Zealand Green Building Council Accredited Professional.

Her primary experience is in commercial design, particularly corporate and hospitality projects. Alongside this, she has completed numerous private residential projects for herself, friends, family, and now clients through her own practice.
