Emma Williamson is a co-founder of The Fulcrum Agency, a creative consultancy founded in 2018 that leverages community and social outcomes through evidence-based design, strategy, advocacy and research.
This new platform evolved following two decades in practice as director of CODA, a multi-award-winning West Australian architecture practice that produced work across all sectors. The Fulcrum Agency builds on this experience, working to position architecture and design thinking at the fore of decision-making in communities.
Emma is passionate about the architectural profession and spent nearly a decade as a lecturer at Curtin University’s Department of Architecture and Interior Architecture. She was the inaugural chair of the Australian Institute of Architects’ National Committee for Gender Equity and was awarded the 2023 Paula Whitman Leadership in Gender Equity Prize. Emma is an adjunct senior research fellow at Monash University and holds positions on the Western Australian and South Australian State Design Review Panels.
