As a Chartered Architect with a PhD in creating supportive living environments and as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), Faye is committed to designing, delivering, and advocating for better and more inclusive environments that promote healthy ageing.

Currently, Faye leads and manages one of the few Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) projects within the architectural field. This collaboration between Building Design Northern (BDN) and Northumbria University is driven by a shared goal of fostering innovation to enhance the quality of homes and care environments in the North East. Central to this mission is the development of BDN's Longevity Housing and Care Approach, which draws upon the collective insights of older adults, healthcare professionals, social care experts, and built environment specialists.
