Profile

Building upon professional experience in both the UK and USA, and with architectural qualifications from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bath, I am a University Educator, ARB Registered Architect and Certified Passivhaus Designer. My experience in architectural practice spans a range of sectors, project scales and building typologies, including large-scale mixed-use developments, sports facilities, schools, residential projects of both small and large scale and adaptive reuse projects.

Drawing on my professional experience, I design creative and engaging learning experiences that empower students to develop the problem-solving, leadership, and technical skills needed to excel in the global architectural field.

With a particular interest in creating more sustainable, equitable, and diverse spaces, I am committed to integrating socially responsible design principles into architectural education.
