With more than two decades of experience in journalism, Lucy Barnard has reported on everything from London’s property chessboard to Abu Dhabi’s vertical ambitions — and always delivered the story before deadline.
She’s held key roles at Estates Gazette, The National (Abu Dhabi), and Construction Briefing, and freelanced for heavyweights like The Telegraph and The Guardian.
Known for turning complex beats into compelling reads, Lucy is interested in how technology intersects with major global challenges, from climate change to gender equality and social justice. She believes innovation isn’t just about efficiency or convenience—it’s a powerful tool for building a fairer, more sustainable world.
In her spare time, Lucy loves exploring new places, getting lost in a good book, or heading out for a run—though most often she’s simply trying to keep pace with her three small children.
