about me
I am a BA (Hons) Architecture graduate from the University of Plymouth. I am inspired by the buildings a city no longer sees. I like the quiet challenge of working with what is already there: the things that are overlooked, the things that are closed off, and how good design can bring a building back to life in the public realm.
I think the best interventions are honest about what they inherit. They give, not take. They reveal, not conceal. They make room for people who weren't invited in. For me, architecture is best when it brings things back together: buildings, communities and the spaces in between.
I am a committed and well organised graduate, eager to put that ethic into practice. I am looking for a Part 1 Architectural Assistant position where I can bring my design thinking, work ethic and enthusiasm to a team working on work that matters.
