BIO
I’ve been working in the architecture and design industry for more than a decade, recruiting people at all levels for a range of organisations. Originally from New Zealand, I’ve been lucky enough to live and work in six different countries, which has given me great insight into a variety of global job markets and a strong cultural awareness. I’ve had the privilege of recruiting for a number of top architecture and design practices worldwide including Make, Heatherwick Studio, Tom Dixon and Grimshaw Architects. I genuinely love working with creatives and am passionate about the industry: there’s nothing better than finding someone a role which is truly right for them. Whatever the context, I do my best to connect and build strong bonds with people, and feel this has helped me form a holistic approach to recruitment which enables me to support others in finding their own path in life.
As well as travelling, I’m interested in personal development and like to attend different training programmes, workshops and retreats during my free time. I have completed a foundation course in Authentic Relating, which teaches skills like curiosity and empathy to create meaningful human connections, and am currently doing a 10-month immersive NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Masters Practitioner course to study the psychology of behaviour and the mind. I regularly attend 5Rhythms movement classes, have a strong yoga and meditation practice and love cycling and motorbikes having spent time dirt biking through the Cambodian jungle!

Back in early 2011 I took a leap into the creative recruitment industry having spent my career to date in the new build and construction environment. Coupled with being a lover of people and the buzz and excitement of recruitment, it didn’t take long before I realised how much I loved being part of the creative world - my career in the architecture and design recruitment industry was born!
After previously serving as Global Director of one of the leading architecture and design recruitment companies, I am well positioned to help lead The Crowd to its successes. My days are spent keeping the ‘wheels well-oiled’ whether leading a strategy meeting, crunching numbers or making cups of tea for the team, you will find me doing my best to ensure the office is a fun but productive place to be.
On a personal level, I’m a bit of a ladette to lady; on a weekend you’ll either find me at a football game singing in the stands, cheering on my team Sheffield United, or out dancing with my friends in my lipstick and heels. I’m a lover of exploration, people, laughing, positivity, seeing others smile and I like to travel a lot to explore the weird and wonderful parts of the world. Although I live in London I’m a born and bred northerner and I try hard to keep my roots - visiting Yorkshire often and baking my Nanna’s northern recipes for anyone and everyone. Finally, and probably most importantly I am totally obsessed with my Yorkshire Terrier; Fifi – we even have matching coats!

BIO
I began my career as a hospitality interior designer and spent five years at acclaimed interior architecture studios across Toronto and New York. Though I found meaning in this work, I craved face-to-face interaction that would utilize my presentation skills and outgoing personality. I made the switch into client-facing roles in 2019 and haven’t looked back.
In New York with The Crowd, I source talent for our city’s dense and ever-growing architecture & design industry with a focus on creative support roles. I’m thrilled to fill this space in a market I am so intimately familiar with. The Crowd’s thoughtful and comprehensive approach to recruitment aligns with my honest nature. I am rewarded by facilitating meaningful connections between our clients and candidates.
Hailing originally from Montreal, I love to now call NY my home and currently reside in Brooklyn. I get excited about second-hand furniture finds on Craigslist, consider my Bianchi road bike to be an extension of myself and maintain a monthly bread-making habit.

Hi, I’m Corrine, the positively-loud American who loves good conversation and thought-provoking design. I’ve tried to live my life by one simple rule: if you are passionate about it, pursue it. So, at 24, I decided to finally leave my comfort zone, pack my bags, and take a chance on big bad London. I’m now a dog-obsessed East Londoner with a fire in my belly to push the envelope.
I pride myself on taking a people-focused approach into recruitment, a quality I find seriously lacking in the recruitment game. My client management background merged with my appreciation for the creative world have fuelled me to successfully place roles at all levels across architecture, interiors, product, furniture, lighting, and textiles. Rather than trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, I want to genuinely understand you, your needs and what you’re looking for.
When I’m not recruiting the latest and greatest, I can be found wandering the continent, grabbing a drink in a garden, and looking for more dogs to pet.

BIO
I graduated from the University of York in 2014 with a degree in History of Art. I’m from a creative family and have grown up around the arts so my passion for art, design and architecture was activated in my early years. I worked for over 5 years in a variety of sales and account management roles with leading furniture and interior design companies. This experience gave me an insight into the key skills and temperament that is required within the design industry and I’m excited to share this with you.
Outside of work I have a love for the outdoors, illustration and I am fascinated by people. During lockdown, I completed an arts psychotherapy course, which has developed my curiosity into what makes people tick and how people express themselves.
I also love travelling, music festivals and swimming and am looking forward to a sunny London summer!

Hi I'm Mario. I am fortunate enough to have travelled, lived, and worked in Tirana, Athens, Sydney and London. London has been my home for the past 15 years and it is also my favourite out of the cities that I’ve lived in due to how vibrant it is (although I do miss the food, weather, and ocean in Sydney!).
For the last 10 years I have been working in the luxury lighting industry, working closely with architects and interior designers. I’ve been advising them on technical specifications and solutions for their projects which have ranged from high-end residential to larger hospitality projects. This has given me the knowledge and insight into the architecture and design process, which I am also very passionate about as I admire the simplicity and functionality of it.
I like to keep myself busy by walking and cycling through London, keeping up with current events, cooking, travelling, and I also love a good meme!

BIO
Originally from Italy, I have always been fond of creative expression, which guided me into the Figurative Arts. I originally began my career in London in the hospitality industry working within a managerial role. I acquired financial and administrative skills in this position that brought me here today. Leading by example, supporting and coaching people has always been the part of the role that I love, and I enjoy working with different people from different walks of life.
Working with The Crowd in the world of luxury design and architecture, has given me the privilege to connect with people from different backgrounds whom I am learning from every day. Rediscovering my creativity has challenged me to pursue my dream by starting a BA in Creative Writing and English Literature at the University of Westminster.
As well as discovering new restaurant gems in the city, I love to cook new veggie recipes which I believe I am pretty good at! Travelling is a must for me, I enjoy hiking amongst nature and immersing myself in a novel.
