EP62:  I've worked with my architect, Amrita Mahindroo, for nearly ten years now. Together we have created some beautiful properties across Hackney. Award winning in fact.

Here, we chat over the properties we have worked on, juggling a career and being a mum, and shed light on the diversity aspect within the industry. She also shares her forecast on what's next in the architecture world.
