Background

About Cara Phillips

As a Director at BSPN Architecture I am engaged in cultivating a collaborative approach to design and documentation. I bring together Client's expectations with a strength in Project Management to deliver a range of successful and quality projects across our Brisbane and Melbourne studios. With over 20 years experience, my background is strength in delivering successful hospitality projects ranging from restaurants, casinos, hotels, clubs and pubs as well as diverse experience with public/civic buildings, educational and multi-residential architecture. From 2004 - 2008, I worked part-time as an Architect whilst raising my 2 young children. It was during this time, that I developed and founded a start-up organic skincare label - Carmaje (carma-jay)- which was manufactured locally in Brisbane and distributed nationally through Retailers and Beauty Therapists. Although it seems that both my career paths to date are diverse, the reality is they are both creative passions which can be infused into every part of daily life. For me, they are both extremely relevant in this fast-paced world that we live in. One creates spaces that contributes to our wellness, the other creates products that contribute to our wellness. We should not underestimate the power of both of these things and the way they can make us feel and interact with our loved ones and the wider community.
