Experience Househam Henderson (Mar 2017May 2017)
Graphic Design Assistant
Mosaic Films (Dec 2016Feb 2017)
Cut-Out Artist
I worked within a team to redesign an interactive pdf for store constructions of a sportswear brand using InDesign. Working with the graphic designer and architecture team to redesign the interface, layouts, interactive buttons, icons, colour themes, tables and to condense the content to a manageable size. The document was reduced in content with a fun and modern look that was engaging to read. A pleasure to work with a professional and determined team.
At Mosaic, I was part of a great team on a short animated series for BBC Learning on the history of medicine. I worked as a Photoshop artist cutting and retouching archival images of paintings, maps and photographs among others. In addition, I also worked on video editing draft footage and voice overs with Premiere Pro. It was a great joy to work with talented and determined team members.
Education University of MArch Architecture (2014-2016) Greenwich (2016) My thesis explored cinema’s expansion in smartphone technologies and its ability to
replicate space with virtual reality culminating in a 360° video. Separately, my design film borrowed signs from cowboy westerns before 1969, abstracting these elements into a surrealist intervention deposited in a mundane London park.
University of BA Architecture (2010-2013) Greenwich (2013) I wrote my third year dissertation on my family’s habits within the home, tracing their movement with their favourite mugs. During my second year I was fortunate enough to have my model in the Venice Biennale with two other students from my university.

Volunteer at ‘City Builder Academy’
Venice Biennale (2012)
’40, 000 Hours’ exhibition
In this workshop for students (aged 15-18yrs) considering careers in the built environment, as a tutor I pro-actively listened to students to understand their difficulties and encouraged them to overcome their own perceived limitations.
A student exhibition, part of the Biennale, showcasing models in white card by architecture schools from around the world. The exhibit was in response to David Chipperfield’s theme ‘Common Ground’. I was selected with two other students from the university to present models for the exhibition.
