Cardine Hollowell

Creative Director

Cardine joined work.place.create. as a Creative Director early into its inception following periods of employment at two high profile firms of architects and designers. Cardine leads the design process on all projects and leverages her fourteen years’ experience at every opportunity to deliver creative, efficient and transformative design solutions for her clients. She is adept at the full life cycle of projects and takes as much personal pride in delivering the final product on site as she does generating the initial concept.

And when she is not at work: Cardine is a qualified paddlesport coach and volunteers her time coaching young people and adults associated with the Sea Cadet Core in her role as Civillian Instructor. Cardine is an aficionado of live music and has seen an enviable list of top bands. Her attendance at gigs has tapered off recently, as her new puppy Luna has taken up a lot of Cardine’s free time.
