Harriet Close

Strategic Lead

Hobart Studio

As Strategic Lead, Harriet focuses on business development for Cumulus - building relationships and identifying opportunities across our sectors - alongside her role as EA to director Peter Walker.

Before joining Cumulus, Harriet spent 19 years in the Tasmanian State Service, working across a broad range of policy areas. Most recently she worked in housing and urban renewal policy, collaborating closely with stakeholders to support housing and urban design that delivered positive social, environmental and economic outcomes - experience that continues to shape the relationships she builds today.

Harriet has also spent time living, studying and working in France. Outside the studio, she's usually out running or walking her two kelpies.
