Commercial Design Strategist

Carmen Darwin

Good projects start long before the drawings do.

Creating the thinking behind making great places.

I work at the front end of commercial design projects, helping turn business needs, place and opportunity into a clear design direction, concept and practical project plan.

A considered approach to place, people and possibility.

Commercial Design Strategy

Turning commercial potential into clear design direction.

Connecting business objectives, user experience, operational requirements and site conditions to establish a clear design direction.

Concept Design Development

Creating places with purpose, character and longevity.

Developing design concepts, spatial ideas, material direction and customer experiences that provide a strong foundation for detailed design.

Project Planning & Coordination

Creating a clear pathway from concept to delivery.

Defining project scope, priorities, stakeholders, programme, risks and requirements and working with the wider professional team to support successful delivery. Bringing the right people and plans together to move a project forward.
