Claire Martin.

OCULUS Associate Director Claire Martin was profiled by Fleetwood Urban in their latest monthly insights e-newsletter, FWD>THINKING.

The interview explores Claire's career journey covering her inspirations, experiences, philosophies and learnings, as well as her thoughts on the future of landscape architecture.

From Fleetwood Urban:

Growing up in the UK, Claire Martin aspired to be a dolphin trainer. But a very different career path beckoned and, today, whether she’s advising governments, leading industry associations, inspiring the next generation of students or adding to her award-winning portfolio of urban projects, you’re unlikely to find a more respected or engaged member of Australia’s Landscape Architecture Industry. We were delighted to catch up with Claire, Associate Director at OCULUS in Melbourne, late last month to discuss her career, her motivations and her thoughts on the future of landscape architecture.
