I am an associate at Design Engine Architects, where I enjoy the challenge of designing uplifting and inspiring educational spaces and places, working with clients, consultants and contractors to create buildings that encourage learning and wellbeing across all age groups.I act as a visiting tutor for the Welsh school of architecture, a role that reinforces what I believe to be the key links between academia and practice.I’ve spent a combined 12 years at Design Engine Architects and Hampshire County Council developing a broad experience of both public and private education sectors, working to design and deliver award-winning Primary, Secondary, Sixth Form and University buildings. In addition to project running, I contribute to marketing, heading up the social media and visualisation teams and have for a particular interest in creating animated content to communicate new ideas. This has been used with effect to promote existing projects online as well as helping to win a major international competition in 2020.I have enjoyed a rich diversity of work that the architectural profession has offered to date. This includes my role as project architect for the refurbishment of the Wimbledon Clubhouse at Grimshaw, helping to design a mixed-use skyscraper in Istanbul while working for Foster+Partners, or one-off private residential schemes for AR Design Studio. I believe that each sector and varying scale of project can inform the next, and underpins the importance of being agile and adaptive in today's profession. I completed all three parts of my architectural education at the Welsh School of Architecture, qualifying in 2014. In 2017 I returned to work as a visiting Practice Links tutor, providing mentoring and design guidance for year-out students on the RIBA Part II course. Since 2023 I have undertaken a role as Professional examiner for the DPP Part III interview, which has proved a rewarding experience. Outside of work I am a keen trail runner, enjoy illustration, photography, and making music.
