Before the land-based work, there was parking.
And I mean that in the best way.
Over the past year I worked in EV charging infrastructure, collaborating directly with senior sustainability teams at Grosvenor and JLL to support their ESG goals and decarbonization strategies. The brief was technical. The opportunity was deeply human.
We weren’t just installing chargers.
We were reimagining parking lots.
Spaces that are usually grey, hostile, and forgettable became colourful, legible, and purpose-built for people: safer pedestrian movement, comfortable waiting zones for families, well-lit environments, intuitive wayfinding, integrated seating, and bold pavement graphics that made the transition to electric mobility feel welcoming rather than utilitarian.
I also had the privilege of collaborating with the UK-based design firm Formula Space, contributing to the innovation and advancement of what are now considered industry-leading charging sites. Together, we explored how infrastructure could be both technically excellent and emotionally intelligent.
This work shaped my approach to the built environment:
infrastructure as public space,
systems as lived experience,
design as a tool for behaviour change.
EVs are about more than energy.
They’re about how people move through the world.
