In this episode, Daniel Moore speaks with registered architect Kate Shepherd, working at Cumulus Studio based in Hobart Tasmania. Kate has been working across practice and academics in architecture since 2011. Kate has had an extraordinary career, working in academia at the University of Canberra and in practice, where she demonstrated design excellence across various scales of practice both domestically and internationally. In 2022, Kate received the Emerging Architect Prize in the ACT before she made the move to Hobart and began working for Cumulus Studio. Kate and Daniel discuss the journey she undertook as an emerging architect, what led her to choose to move to Tasmania, and the building typologies she is most passionate about after working on after working across scales over the years.
