Janelle Campbell

Janelle is a registered architect working as a Design Manager in the construction industry.  

Her interest in the philanthropic sector came to the forefront whilst studying temporary structures during her Master of Architecture at university. Inspired by the work undertaken by humanitarian architects, Janelle developed a passion for wanting to assist communities impacted by poverty, war, and natural disasters.  

Janelle joined The Anganwadi Project in 2016 to work on the design and construction of Bholu 14. During her time in Ahmedabad, Janelle immersed herself in the Indian culture, developing long-lasting friendships and memories.  Janelle then returned to Ahmadabad at the end of 2022 to undertake a maintenance and repairs audit.  

Janelle is honoured to be a member of the TAP Committee and is looking forward to championing our new volunteers

Dominque Petterwood

Dominique Petterwood is a registered architect based in Hobart, Tasmania, with practice experience in the early education, residential, and hospitality sectors. Dom's work with TAP and AWF in India and Nepal has taught her a lot about working with a focus heavily geared towards community and sustainability. 

She believes well-designed outcomes should be accessible for all, and is passionate about design being used to enrich local and global communities. This has led her to further her studies in the humanitarian design sector, focusing her research on sustainable development and design for disaster-resilient buildings and cities.

Dom is excited to be continuing her work with TAP and looks forward to assisting with graphic and administrative work behind the scenes.


Felice Burrows

Felice is a passionate advocate for the principle of paying it forward, driven by her commitment to making a positive impact on others. With a diverse skillset and experience, she actively fosters connections among individuals, seeking to instigate transformative change in their lives. With her architectural expertise and connective mindset, she strives to create meaningful spaces that embrace diverse voices and cultures, extending the spirit of paying it forward throughout the community.

Felice is a registered Architect and Director of Architects&Co., a small female-led architectural and interior design practice based in Perth, Western Australia, she is also a keen adventurer – often seeking the thrill of a remote hike or mountain to ground her. Central to her practice's focus is ‘hands-on’ Education Architecture, an area that resonates deeply with Felice due to her upbringing in rural New Zealand, which instilled in her an inherent understanding of the value of small communities and the significance of remote settings.

Motivated by her desire to make a greater difference, in 2019, Felice volunteered with TAP in Andhra Pradesh, building Harivillu 2. This immersive experience proved to be profoundly transformative, shaping her life's trajectory. Since then, Felice has nurtured a steadfast connection with the Anantapur community and remains passionately involved in the upcoming anganwadi projects within the region.
