Kate joined Define in 2020 and completed her Master’s in Landscape Architecture shortly afterwards. She has since become a Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute, achieving this through passing her P2C exam in 2025.

Kate works across a wide range of projects, from early concept design through to detailed delivery. She provides technical support to the team in landscape design and character analysis, and also leads on Vectorworks best practice.
