I am a multi-talented Architect and Designer with over 10 years of industry experience in architecture. My career to date has involved work in a wide range of projects and sectors including; residential (both market and affordable), commercial, education, industrial, public/cultural, religious and the restoration of listed buildings. The wide variety of challenges this experience has presented means that I have developed a strong ability to critically analyse situations, and adapt to their varying demands.
In addition to my work in practice I have tutored students at both Brighton University and the Architectural Association in London. I have also provided work for and helped to organise an architectural exhibition at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. I am a registered architect in the UK and Victoria, Australia.

Town Planning Assistant
During a 6 week placement as part of my degree, I researched and produced an in-depth report into the location and effect of the telecommunications masts in the area. It encompassed the future implications of the technology’s infrastructure at local, regional and national level. This document was later referenced in UK Government Green and White Papers on future planning policy.
