Currently working as an Architectural Assistant and Project Lead for StudioHIVE Architects since completing a BA (Hons) Architecture and Planning (RIBA I) degree at the University of the West of England, having a passion for design and place making, I hold nearly a decade of experience working at several award wining UK Architectural practices across the South West.I am currently undertaking a Level 7 Architectural Apprenticeship through UWE, this is allowing me to do my part II and Part III whilst in work and providing opportunities to still gain valuable hands-on experience. -Alongside this, I’ve successfully founded and led a multi-media design agency (bearddesign.org) working with an array of recognised UK clients with graphic design, videography and photography with work featured on national TV channels whilst also creative directing and communication management for large corporate and not-for-profit organisations
