CHRISTOPHER MOORE

A senior brand and communications professional with three decades' worth of experience, Christopher has worked with some of the most prominent names in the built environment in the UK and Australia. 

 

He believes in the power of big ideas to change the world, and the power of communication to change it for the better.

 

Christopher is a strategic thinker who can deploy the written and spoken word to garner attention and elevate the discourse. He also specialises in crisis communications, and media and presentation preparation.

 

He is, as one of his clients once called him, ‘a communications badass’.

SARATH VARADARAJAN

Sarath read Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick, graduating with First Class Honours, where his dissertation centred on memory, identity creation, and borders. Both his studies and subsequent working life are informed by his interest in the relationships between people, media, and physical spaces.

 

During his time at university, Sarath served as co-Editor-in-Chief of the Warwick edition of The Tab, a national student news site. He was also a Student Research Assistant for the project investigating the evolution of Leamington Spa as a university town.

 

Growing up in both Chennai and Kuala Lumpur, then studying in the UK, has afforded Sarath a global perspective. He knows first-hand the power of communication to improve the built environment’s social and cultural utility.

RUBY LLEWELYN

Intrigued by the environments which form and foster communities, Ruby has spent the last decade engaged with the built environment through research and fieldwork. 

 

Earning her Bachelor's degree from the New York Universities’ Gallatin School of Individualised Study, Ruby authored a course which investigated the socio- and psychological impacts of digital technology use. Upon completion of her thesis, she was presented with NYU’s prestigious Founders Day Award. 

 

Ruby has a longstanding love for architecture and design, and is thrilled to bridge that passion with her affinity for storytelling. A skilled writer and communicator, she believes that narrative has the power to connect us all.
