ABOUT ME As a graduate of both Architecture and Landscape Architecture, I am constantly inspired by a wide range of spatial environments, and am comfortable designing external and internal spaces. My interest in sustainability and technology has driven many of my University projects, whilst my eye for aesthetics and understanding of the humanities has, I feel, led to well-rounded schemes. I am a thoughtful and diligent team-worker, but am confident in taking on repsonsibilities as an individual or as a team leader. I enjoy testing my abilities and applying myself in project work.

2012-2015
SHEFFIELD SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 2:1 Dual Honours BA in Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Studying two professional and creative subjects introduced me to a much broader design world and helped me practice managing deadlines. I gained experience working graphically to deliver my design projects in the form of physical presentations, reviews, exhibitions and formatted documents. I developed my skills in Adobe Creative Cloud and 3D CAD systems, as well as refining my draughtsmanship skills to fully realise my design ambitions. My degree required me to adapt to different roles and apply a variety of skill-sets, depending on the project task at hand, working both individually and as part of a team.

WORK EXPERIENCE WEST WADDY ADP Urban Design Assistant I was part of a team of four assistants under the Urban Design Associate. My duties included collaborating and managing project narratives, design and access statements, competition submission documents and graphics for internal office use. For these documents I was in charge of producing conceptual strategies and diagrams, site specific historic and physical research and analysis, and liaising with clients and consultants regarding project progression and design outcomes. I applied my illustrative skills to help the urban design and architectural teams express the vision of each scheme according to the branding of the company.
