Amy Welch
Co-founder
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.
Louise Constantine
Co-founder
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!
Hannah Wyatt
Lead Architecture Specialist (London)
After completing my education in Architecture and Interior Design at Canterbury and Falmouth, I transitioned to the field of specialised recruitment for the design industry 12 years ago. Over the years, I have sourced and recruited for a diverse range of positions across various global locations, ranging from BIM Managers and Architects to Stylists and Graphic Designers, while working with a prominent international recruitment company. I spent 6 years in Sydney, Australia focusing primarily on the Asia/Pacific regions. I have now landed at The Crowd where I am leading the Architecture offering and hopefully bring my experience to continue to help people navigate their careers within the industry and build strong teams.
Kamen Reilly
Senior Creative Support Specialist (London)
Hi, my name is Kamen, I was born and raised in a small seaside village in North-West Ireland, and always had a passion to move to a big city. I have lived and worked in both the US and Australia, backpacked through the islands of Thailand, and flown around Europe which led me to touch down in London to pursue my career.
Ana Zabarsky
Architecture and Interiors Specialist (London)
After eight years as an Architectural Designer, through all the laughs and the tears, I decided to jump with both feet into the world of architectural recruitment.
Elly Valencia
Creative Support Specialist (London)
I come from an acting background which has fuelled my love for self-expression, creativity and making connections. I’ve always been curious to know more about people; finding out what drives them and why. I truly believe that taking a people focused approach to life will stand you in greater stead for opportunity and growth – both professionally and personally – and having also worked in office coordination and account management in a variety of industries, I’ve been able to put this into practice whilst understanding what’s required in the operational side of a business. Combining this creativity & connection is what brought me to The Crowd, and I love being part of the team!
Will Giles
Creative Support Specialist (London)
My journey in recruitment began two and a half years ago in the construction industry, where I was based up in my hometown of Bedford before being lucky enough to get relocated to London.
Dominique DeVoll
Interior Design Specialist (New York)
Hi, my name is Dominique! I graduated from Washington State University in 2021 with my bachelor’s degree in psychology and human development. After a holiday visit into the city, I followed my heart and made the move from Seattle Washington, to my now home, New York. I spent my first year+ in the city working administration and office management for a leading international design firm, where I received first-hand exposure to the design industry. I found how passionate I am for all aspects of design, and instantly knew which direction I wanted my career to head.
