Tahnee Sullivan is a director at Sullivan Skinner, a Brisbane-based practice established in 2018. Prior to establishing her practice, Sullivan worked at Richards and Spence for seven years and was a design architect (alongside Ingrid Richards and Adrian Spence) and the project architect for the highly acclaimed The Calile Hotel. She is an active member of the wider community, generously volunteering her time to the Far North Queensland Business Liaison Association by sharing her experience in the architectural profession with schools in the Cairns region. Since graduating from the University of Queensland, she has maintained a strong relationship with the university’s architecture school, giving lectures, tutoring and providing guest critiques. Throughout her career, Sullivan has engaged with Australian Institute of Architects initiatives, including the Queensland Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) committee. In 2015, she co-founded an EmAGN Queensland Speaker Series, providing a platform for local architects to share their knowledge. Her exceptional work has been recognized in industry media and awards, including the Think Brick Awards and the Eat Drink Design Awards. The jury commends Sullivan’s desire to learn and passion for shared knowledge and is confident that the Dulux Study Tour will help her navigate her newly established architectural practice.
