She has worked on many co-design projects involving schools and corporate learning spaces. Examples include Building Schools for the Future and London Gifted and Talented.
From experimental beginnings in 2004, Harriet established and co-directed Design Heroine Architecture, a practice that focussed on participatory design in shaping public spaces and buildings.
