Beth Teal
Project Consultant
A combined appreciation for cartography and design led me to study town planning and specialise in urban design. Since graduating, I have spent time in both public and private sectors, working across town planning, urban design, and landscape architecture.
My passions sit firmly with the coalescence of inclusive and sustainable design: to form places that are a pleasure for everyone, invite nature in and support the natural environment. It delights me knowing that what we do has a positive impact beyond our lifetimes, and our craft has an intrinsic connection with daily lives.
Most of my free time is spent dragging my 1920s home into the 21st century, pottering around the garden or exploring a town or city with my stomach as key driver.
