Profile

I graduated from Nottingham University in 2016 with a first class honours degree in Architecture, and subsequently went on to obtain my March degree and qualify as an architect in 2017.

I am a ARB/RIBA chartered architect, currently practcising at Leonard Design in Nottingham. I specialise in dementia design, having completed various training courses and programmes accreditated both nationally and internationally for architectural dementia design in care environments. I regularly attend industry recognised events and debate forums, and have visited first hand some of the world’s most prestigious and renowned care environments.

I have a strong interest in charitable and community endeavours, and have written several published magazine and newspaper articles about the value of design to dementia care.

In 2023 I was approached to join the teaching team at Loughborough University as a design tutor for Design Studio A, and have subsequently gone on to teach Design Studio B
