TURNER has marked its 25th year in practice with a studio-wide round of promotions across its Sydney headquarters, recognising 23 employees for their contributions to the practice.

The announcement spans all levels of the studio. Twelve employees have been elevated to Senior Designer, three to Senior Project Designer, and two to Project Designer, with a further appointment to Project Architect. At more senior levels, Martin Petru steps up to Senior Associate, Design Strategist, and Tony Stodart has been promoted to Associate Director, Technical Lead.

Three new Associates

Three team members have also been elevated to Associate: Georgia Crawley, Erin Douglas (nee Martin) and Victor Torroglosa, each having progressed within the practice across distinct disciplines.

In four years at TURNER, Crawley has risen to lead the studio's Experiential Design team, overseeing all wayfinding, public art and branding work across the practice's projects. Her elevation to Associate reflects the growing scope of that discipline and the leadership she has brought to it.

Douglas joined TURNER in 2017 as a Senior Project Designer. Specialising in interior design, she is an active member of the studio's Design Culture Panel, a group that advocates for considered and robust design outcomes for clients and collaborators. Her promotion acknowledges both her design expertise and her contribution to the studio's culture.

Torroglosa also joined the practice in 2017 as a Senior Project Designer, bringing international experience from careers in Spain and China. He carries that global perspective into a practice grounded in design's capacity to positively shape communities and environments.

Managing Director Karl May says this year's promotions reflect the strength of the team TURNER has developed across its 25 years of operation. "TURNER's solid reputation and our significant portfolio of multi-residential work have been well won," says Karl May, Managing Director, TURNER. "Attracting passionate and agile designers, and retaining them, is a credit to the ambitious and supportive workplace we've nurtured for over two decades."

May says the promotions will help fortify the practice for ongoing work heading into 2027.
