Following her MA at the University of Edinburgh, Lily remained to work as a landscape assistant for a multi-disciplinary practice in the city centre. There she worked on a wide range of projects, focusing on strategic master-planning, detailed design and LVIA. 

While in Edinburgh, Lily forged a strong connection with the surrounding land and seascape, whether cycling, swimming or running. Here she developed her passion for designing coastal and wetland spaces, with a particular focus on working with water to benefit the environment and the community.   

Since joining CTF she has worked on a series of projects with a strong connection to water, whether public realm or detailed design.
