Suzan is a registered architect and Inclusive Design Lead at Foster + Partners. She works across projects globally, collaborating with design teams to embed inclusive design throughout the design process, from early concept to delivery.

She contributes to architectural education and industry through teaching, guest lecturing and collaborative research, promoting inclusive design as a fundamental part of architectural practice.
