David Ritter

David joined Grimshaw in 2024 to lead Sustainability across the ANZ region after 25 years as a sustainability specialist and leader working in the UK, Europe, China and Australia. He is an interdisciplinary thinker, weaving a pathway between architectural and engineering practice throughout his career. An innovator and natural collaborator, he has a firm appreciation that the existential challenge of climate change and biodiversity emergency can only be met through industry pulling together. Through close collaboration with Architectural and Design Technology colleagues David has pioneered new ways of working across the practice to deliver deep carbon savings and embed circular economy thinking in design.
