Ceili (Caylie) Murphy
Interior Architecture leader and Sector Leader at Architectus Aotearoa with nearly two decades of experience delivering complex workplace, retail, civic, aviation, and commercial environments across Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally.

My work focuses on translating organisational culture and strategy into human-centred spaces that support collaboration, wellbeing, and performance. Known for strong stakeholder engagement and an empathetic leadership style, I guide multidisciplinary teams through complex briefs and diverse perspectives to deliver meaningful outcomes.

Alongside practice, I mentor emerging designers and contribute to the profession through teaching and industry engagement, advocating for inclusive and sustainable design practice.
Available to Mentor
I focus on supporting emerging designers to navigate the challenges of working in the industry and balancing professional ambition with wellbeing. Mentoring for me is a conversation centred on the other person, helping them build confidence, think critically, and explore their own voice. I draw on my experience leading teams, teaching, and working across disciplines to guide, encourage, and open up perspectives, fostering growth, curiosity, and resilience while championing inclusive and thoughtful practice.
