Ana worked directly with me on The Cadogan Hotel project, during which time she was an invaluable contributor. She helped produce construction drawings during a particularly high-pressure period with the contractor, and her commitment and professionalism were greatly appreciated.

Ana joined PDP London and worked with my team for a high-end complex heritage project in London to deliver information for a Stage 4 tender.

She performed her design tasks within the team very well and diligently to the programme. Her key role was supporting an envelope sub-group and producing successful town planning discharge documents with technical details.

We wish her well for the future and would recommend her for projects within a team.

SJ Hirani,
IT Manager at Studio PDP London (2022)

I had the pleasure of working alongside Ana at Studio PDP, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional architect. Her work ethic, creativity, and technical expertise consistently stand out. Ana approaches every project with dedication, attention to detail, and a strong sense of responsibility, ensuring both design excellence and practical execution.

She is not only highly talented but also collaborative and solution-oriented, making her a valuable asset to any team. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any architectural project—clients and collaborators alike will benefit from her professionalism and commitment to delivering outstanding results.
