Clare Nash is an architect, author and mentor. She has written two books on sustainable housing and work/life balance for architects.

After setting out on her own in 2011 with no clients, Clare now runs a successful eco-architecture practice, Clare Nash Architecture, which employs 6 people. She prides herself on making sustainable profit without working around the clock. Meanwhile, working with wonderful clients on projects that light up the team. Meanwhile working only a 30-hour week and having a little son. It is possible to feel rewarded, enjoy your work and live well too! (YES even in architecture!)

CNA is a remote and flexible working practice with a lovely, majority female team all working from home and meeting up once a week in real life. All of this was well before lockdowns and unheard of in the UK architecture world.

You can have a listen to Clare here on radio and podcasts.
