Annalise Knight

Co-Founder, Strategic & Creative Director

Rather than the physical structure, Annalise is drawn to the bigger picture – the impact buildings can have, and how they shape people and communities. A systems thinker with a people-first lens, she’s spent her career creating environments where good work (and good humans) can thrive.

Her background in the not-for-profit sector, including time with the World Bank Group’s International Finance Corporation, brings a depth and breadth that’s unusual in construction. Annalise shapes the inner workings of Brother Nature – its culture, systems, accountability frameworks and long-term direction – with the same care the team applies to building envelopes.

She originally joined Andy to steady an avalanche of early projects, but quickly became the behind-the-scenes conductor: guiding finance, HR, marketing, technology and team development while steering the overall vision of the business. Annalise is the reason Brother Nature runs the way it does – grounded, values-driven, relentlessly improving and centred on people. Her work now sits at the intersection of strategy, brand and future direction – ensuring the company stays true to its mission while evolving with purpose.
