Studying law and commerce at university in the nineties, Ms Anghie worked in law and accounting firms for close to a decade before deciding to pursue her passion, returning to university in 2006 as a mature age student to study architecture.
Ms Anghie is interested in residential architecture, and in a previous interview with The Property Tribune, she said her love for the creative part of architecture is what attracted her to residential.
An extensive resume includes not only legal and accounting roles, but also writing roles with CO-Architecture and The Property Tribune, and for several years wrote a newspaper column called “Meet the Architect”. Ms Anghie is also currently a councillor for the City of Perth, and was previously the Deputy Lord Mayor.
In 2018, Ms Anghie was awarded the Social Responsibility Award by NAWIC, and in 2020, was awarded the WA Emerging Architect Prize.
Ms Anghie plays a very active role in the Perth community, having served as an Institute Chapter Councillor for the past three years and as editor of “The Architect” magazine. She will also take office as a National Councillor for the institute.
Presidency
Ms Anghie pledged to collaborate with key industry groups and build on their existing
relationships to help drive the WA Chapter’s advocacy agenda.
“I will work hard to elevate the conversation on design in WA and to raise design standards in our city and throughout the State.
“By raising design standards and improving the quality of the built environment, we can improve the health and wellbeing of all who live and work in our diverse communities,” she said.
