Stephanie Mills is an architect, urban designer and filmmaker. Born in South Africa in 1955, she now lives in London, UK. A graduate of Harvard University, USA (M. of Arch. in Urban Design 1982) and the University of Natal, South Africa (B. Arch. 1978), Mills is a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects and of the British Academy of Film & Television Arts (BAFTA).

For over a decade Mills has utilised the companies she co-founded - Urban Arts, Lexington Films, Mackerel Sky and Cite Design – as partnership vehicles for the realisation of architectural, urban design and film projects. Some of these projects are reflected on this web site, as well as new ones in development by Cite Design.

Mills views herself as a catalyst, interacting with people and organisations in imaginative ways. To this process she brings strong team building and leadership qualities; an enjoyment of responding to new challenges; an ability to synthesise ideas, concepts and trends; and a tendency to work at many scales running diverse processes in parallel.
