BSc, Dip.Arch
Judy is a Senior Architect and Health Sector Lead at David Morley Architects, combining architectural design and project leadership with the strategic development of the practice’s healthcare sector. Her experience spans healthcare, residential, education, sport and leisure, bringing together knowledge from different sectors to inform her approach to design.
Judy studied at the Bartlett School of Architecture before completing her Diploma at the Architectural Association and subsequently qualifying as an architect. Since joining David Morley Architects in 2016, she has worked across all stages of the architectural process, from early feasibility and concept design through to construction and completion. Her healthcare experience encompasses mental health, acute and private healthcare, community healthcare and specialist clinical environments, including CAMHS facilities, projects across the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS estate and One Welbeck in London.
Judy has a particular interest in the relationship between architecture, health and wellbeing, and how the built environment can positively influence people’s everyday lives. Her approach places people at the centre of design, considering how buildings can support dignity, independence, social interaction and opportunities for healthier, more active lives. She is particularly interested in challenging conventional approaches to healthcare design, drawing on lessons from other sectors to create environments that are welcoming, adaptable and responsive to the needs of those who use them.
Alongside her architectural work, Judy leads the growth and development of the practice’s healthcare sector, establishing new relationships, identifying opportunities and working collaboratively with clients, consultants and industry partners. She is actively involved in wider industry discussions, knowledge sharing and supporting emerging professionals through mentoring, architectural education and design reviews.
Outside of architecture, Judy enjoys spending time outdoors, particularly hiking and bouldering, alongside creative interests including pottery, gardening and graphic design.
