Advice for architects and designers: Moving between the UK and Australia
Advice for moving countries as an architect or designer in 2026.
Moving to a new city is something all designers should do at some point in the career if they are able.
For those under thirty-five, the path between the UK and Australia is now smoother due to expanded visa rules and Mutual Recognition Agreements.
Bespokers Ryan Barton, Emma Gibson, Tahj Phapakdy, Luke Russo, and Jimmy Bent have all navigated this shift themselves. They offer the perspective gained from their moves and their daily experience matching talent with studios across both hemispheres.
If you’re interested in relocating between the UK, the US and Australia, get in touch with the team today.
