INTERNATIONAL design firm Fender Katsalidis has made two new major appointments to its Sydney and Brisbane studios, in Jessica Lee and Angela Biddle.
Lee, a principal at Fender Katsalidis, has been appointed to studio lead in the Brisbane office, having joined the firm as graduate in 2005.
Lee is known for her award-winning seniors living projects and has a focus on delivering accessible and human-centric design.
“I have always been given the opportunity to grow and develop my skills as an architect and leader at FK. I am grateful for the support received right from the beginning, and for the space to pursue my passions,” said Lee.
“I am excited to have the opportunity to continue to foster FK’s culture in Brisbane. It feels like a full circle moment, as I now have the chance to nurture and support the Brisbane team.”
Biddle will bring her more than 20 years of experience to Fender Katsalidis’ interiors team, with the hospitality expert joining the firm’s Sydney office as a principal.
Biddle’s previous experience includes working in leadership roles as director at Scott Carver and as creative lead for Yoo Hotels and Resorts.
“Whether it’s a local or international context, I’ve always been driven to create inspiring environments for unique brands,” said Biddle.
“Stepping into this role as principal at FK, I look forward to driving design solutions that maximise a project’s commercial potential while being a succinct expression of the client’s identity, the people who inhabit these spaces, and FK’s standard for design excellence.”
