Since joining Ellis Williams, Hannah has demonstrated a wonderful passion for architecture evident both in the quality of her work and in her contribution to office life.

Her work already displays a maturity and direction far beyond her years. Whatever the nature of the project, Hannah approaches each task with an energy that lifts the team around her, placing her at the centre of activity and enabling her to lead from the front.
This Highly Commended recognition is a fantastic achievement and a testament to Hannah’s creativity, dedication and promising contribution to the profession at this early stage in her career.
