As an ARB/RIBA qualified Part 1 Architectural Assistant, I bring a diverse background in residential, education, and community-based projects alongside playing a key role in design competitions for Saunders Boston Architects.
With expertise in collaborative design development, including 2D drafting, 3D modelling, and visualization, I navigate RIBA stages 1-5 and building regulations with precision as part of the design team.
Active participation in personal competitions, such the 2022 AIA UK Student Charrette and Cambridge Room, as well as industry events keeps me abreast of emerging trends.
Moreover, my engagement in architectural mentorship programs for under-represented minorities underscores my commitment to increase diversity and inclusion within the profession and encourage more to join it.

BEYOND A MARKET INTRODUCTION
Presenting “Beyond a Market”, a visionary project that re-imagines Bournemouth’s Lansdowne district as a dynamic hub of community, enterprise, and culture, in response to the brief calling for the revitalisation of this urban area within the town centre and transforming it into a fresh cultural and community environmental hub.
This project responds to the brief by introducing thematic markets centred around food, art, and stocks. Simultaneously, it revives the office identity of the existing building with dynamic co-working spaces while the rooftop is utilized for leisure activities.
Lastly, the project incorporates contextual wall murals, alongside a thoughtfully-designed sculptural plaza.

KINGSTON LACY ART EXHIBITION INTRODUCTION
Presenting “Kingston Lacy Art Exhibition”, where it is the result of a brief that was asking for new ways of viewing vintage and ancient artworks frozen in time while basing the design on a contemporary artist.
Inspired by the selected artist Slavomir Zombek, this project responds to the brief by introducing a maze-themed exhibition unveiling intricate connections between different eras and artists as every space displays them.
The use of red curtain walls influences the perception of the outside environment as it enhances the appreciation of artwork within the space as it invites you to delve into a modern twist on historical and contemporary art, creating a captivating and dynamic exploration of creativity.

YEAR 3 MODEL STUDIES - 2022
RESEARCH BY MAKING INTRODUCTION
Diving into the realm of market architecture, this chapter delves into series of exploration through physical model-making and in-depth studies of market typology.
Bolstered by insights from the Y3 bachelor thesis, “Market Halls in the Era of Online Shopping,” the inquiry into this typology is deeply rooted in personal experiences spanning various countries. Despite modern retail dominance, market halls rejuvenate traditional market essence as vibrant community hubs.
Thus, this chapter serves as a crucial foundation, equipping with the knowledge to craft a compelling vision for the final design project, “Beyond a Market.”

THE CAMBRIDGE ROOM INTRODUCTION
The ‘Cambridge Room’ competition, a collaboration among The Cambridge Association of Architects, University of Cambridge, Cambridge City Council, and South Cambridge District Council, sought visionary concepts for an Urban Room dedicated to discussing urbanism in Cambridge.
In response, “The Cambridge Panorama Pavilion” proposes a captivating solution on Parker’s Piece. This openair pavilion blends diverse elements to depict Cambridge’s rich history, adorned with suspended artworks.
The proposed logo symbolizes the unity of narratives—a fitting embodiment for the Urban Room. The Pavilion invites visitors to explore the city’s vibrant essence, contributing to Cambridge’s ever-evolving story.
