Extremely enthusiastic about training to become an architect. My design ethos is based on the belief that architecture wields its greatest influence when it considers the diversity of its users, prioritising those often marginalised. My degree has fortified my commitment to architectural innovation, placing people at its core and channelling the power of design to facilitate meaningful societal change, valuing equity, inclusivity, and fabric-first design approaches. In my final year at University, I joined the Praxxis atelier, a pivotal choice that significantly shaped my architectural perspective. My studio project delved into urban design, re-imagining Le Corbusier’s Radiant City as the site. I critically examined the inaccessibility of the site and de-constructed the hierarchical zones, creating a more integrated cityscape that transcends traditional boundaries. I enjoy utilising my creativity in different ways. In 2018, I set up my own freelancing portraiture business, providing high-quality, custom-made pets and people portraits. I believe my attention to detail and appreciation for form and aesthetics contributes to my overall identity as a designer.
