With over 30 years of diverse experience spanning construction, architecture, and landscape design, Douglas brings a wealth of expertise to Yarning Circles WA. His portfolio includes projects for community groups, schools, and not-for-profit organizations.

“Having spent my formative years immersed in the landscapes of a small rural community and the suburbs of Perth, I developed a profound appreciation for the natural world. These early experiences continue to shape my professional journey in architecture and landscape design, reinforcing my belief in the importance of fostering connections with nature. In today’s world, characterized by increasing disconnection from the environment, I am driven to create spaces that facilitate a meaningful reconnection with the natural world.

Serving as a director at Yarning Circles WA is not just a professional role for me; it’s a commitment to reconciliation and a deeply personal journey of learning. Yarning Circles WA embodies principles of cultural respect and community empowerment that resonate deeply with me. I am grateful to be part of a team offering much-needed sacred spaces for healing and transformation; environments where stories are shared, knowledge is exchanged and communities are supported to flourish through mutual respect and understanding.”
