Since joining Publica in 2018, Astrid has been working on public realm and urban design strategies across the West End, Southwark and Islington including the Oxford Street District Place Strategy and Delivery Plan for Westminster City Council and a significant project for The Crown Estate.

Astrid trained in architecture at Oxford Brookes University and the Royal College of Art, London. Prior to joining Publica, she worked at multi-disciplinary design studio The Decorators and DSDHA where she was involved in a range of commercial and residential projects. In 2016, along with other DSDHA colleagues, Astrid was awarded a two-year Research Fellowship in the Built Environment by the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. Her research explored the notion of ‘The Beautiful Everyday Journey’ with the aim to make cycling a more pleasurable, exciting and accessible mode of transport in Central London.

Astrid is also an Associate Lecturer at Chelsea College of Arts where she runs a design research studio in the BA Interior and Spatial Design course.
