Rafi Grant
Landscape Architect
BLA (Hons)
Ōtautahi Christchurch
Rafi joined the RMM team in August 2021 following his graduation from Lincoln University in 2020. Of the many facets of design Rafi is passionate about, he is particularly interested in sustainable design in an urban setting.
Following his gap year to Europe in 2016 Rafi returned to New Zealand motivated to push cities towards a more lasting model, focusing on sustainable movement and diverse use of public space, while also positively impacting native biodiversity.
In his own time Rafi finds himself escaping the urban setting entirely, often catching himself exploring New Zealand’s wilderness both on the waters and the mainland. Driven to live sustainably Rafi enjoys the pursuit of wild game with the hope of filling the freezer.
