Leanne Guy

“If we design spaces sensitively with integrated natural elements, it can improve outcomes for patients and make a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of staff and the wider community.”

With a background in both nursing and interior design, and more than 20 years working on major hospital projects in Australia and the UK, Leanne brings strategic leadership and genuine insight to her role as Hassell’s Health Sector Lead.

She’s worked on many complex developments, including the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London and more recently, the New Mount Barker Hospital in South Australia.

Her extensive portfolio and experience as a health care professional have deepened her understanding of the clinical and operational needs of complex health facilities - and that insight translates into innovative, highly efficient design solutions.

Leanne is focused on expanding Hassell’s knowledge and capability within the sector, both in Australia and across our global studios. She wants to ensure our design outcomes meet the changing needs of clients and communities. That means improving not just the quality of health facilities, but people’s wellbeing too.
