Issey joined Helen Lucas Architects in 2021 with a keen interest in sustainable restorations of historic properties. She was drawn to the practice’s focus on natural materials, of working with landscapes and the studio's collaborative approach to design.

After graduating from the Glasgow School of Art in 2018, and spending time studying in Oslo during her degree, Issey worked in London focussing on the use of mass timber in construction. From there, she was involved in projects in Scandinavia alongside Central London's tallest timber office building (The Black and White Building).

Issey’s role at Helen Lucas Architects has evolved throughout the years, enjoying working closely with clients to realise their dreams and push a sustainable approach to design. Alongside her projects, Issey is currently working with Edinburgh University’s department for Net Zero in producing a case study pattern book for retrofitting historic properties
