I thrive best when working with communities of people, empowering them to envisage the future and to enact change, to bring a wonderful sense of belonging to their built environments.”

Marianne Riley is an accomplished architect and Associate Principal at Jasmax with over 25 years’ experience within the industry. Her significant experience in engagement, briefing, master planning and design has contributed to the award-winning success of projects she has led in the arts, culture and education sectors.
