OLIVER CHIARI
Project Manager & Design Architect
With five years of experience across diverse fields, I have honed a unique blend of architecture, project management, First Nations-led design, and public art. These roles have also cultivated essential leadership skills that I bring to every project.
I am currently in my final year of the Master of Project Management program at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). My academic journey began in 2018 when I started my Bachelor of Architectural Science at Curtin University (2018–2022) on Whadjuk Boodjar Country / Perth, Western Australia.
A deep fascination with European cultural practices led me to relocate to Italy 2022 - 2023. This immersion provided an invaluable understanding of cross-cultural dynamics, international business practices, and linguistic nuances. That foundational experience abroad cemented my passion for global perspectives, which continues to inform my current work on First Nations-led design projects alongside the award-winning Noongar artist Peter Farmer (2021–2025).
Upon my return to Australia in 2023, I moved to Naarm / Melbourne. Here, I continue my collaboration with the Peter Farmer Team on public and private sector projects involving public art, cultural advisory services, and design. Balancing this professional work with my Master's at RMIT (2024–2025) was a deliberate decision. My goal in paralleling these commitments has been to actively investigate the practical impact of contemporary project management initiatives on Design & Construction (D&C) projects, cultural dynamics, and place-making design in real-time.
Looking forward, I am eager to pursue further experience within both local and global contexts. My ambition is to expand my knowledge of design management, leadership, procurement, and project initiation within the Arts, Healthcare, and Construction sectors.
