@majesti_gal
Outside of my studies I run my own online magazine, named Majestigal. Majestigal is a magazine style blog dedicated to empowering women through art, design and fashion. A platform which I created a creative outlet to inspire others. As a result I have been truly fortunate to have attended London Fashion Week several times, appear in Vogue, Elle, Hello and New York Times Magazine. On top of my website I love exploring the endless possibilities of social media, particularly through Instagram. Both my accounts have over 15,000 followers. As a whole rounded person, I relish from having several other interests outside of architecture.

About Me Being a creative person I find I have a curious zest for life. Pushing the boundaries of my own artistic thoughts is something which I relish from. As a current third year Architecture student at the University of Bath, I am consistently faced with creative and practical challenges which I meet head on with enthusiasm and rigour. Academically my interests in the arts and sciences sparked an interest to study architecture. My aim has always been to inspire and evoke emotion, so what better medium then architecture. Within
the field of architecture my strengths lie mainly within the graphics and visualisation medium. I particularly enjoy telling a ‘story’ through my graphics work that supports the building I am designing. This extra ‘emotive’ element is something which I always strive to incorporate in my work. I believe I can bring my unique creative thinking, story telling and passion to any office… as well as lots of pastel pink!

Green Proposal

Sensus Sensus was part of a joint group work project with civil engineers. The aim of this project was to design a bridge located in a run down area of Poplar. Poplar is a forgotten pocket located between Canary Wharf and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with a population of over 55,000. Sensus identifies the potential of extending the boundaries of the given site to include part of the neighbouring road. The purpose of this proposal is to extend the community space to create a seamless integration with the neighbouring Aerial Render
communities. Our main aim is to address the issue of pollution, we want to create an environmentally sensitive design, which aims to improve the air quality and minimise sound pollution. In our scheme we wanted to create a seamless connection between the existing community and the proposed developments. A green bridge that not only pushes the boundaries of technology but also bridges two broken communities together seamlessly. Thames River

Krystal event. This is the night that the most number of Jews were murdered and tortured. The proposal has also an element of self expression and futurism about it. Experimentation of light and shadow enables this. In plan users are taken on a circular journey through the theatre’s as they vary in height and materiality. This proposal is an ongoing project.

Krystal is a proposal set in Berlin for a performance arts based theatre. Set in the heart of Berlin near the Topography of Terror, this is a site where the history of the murdered Jews lay dormant. The response to the current brief looks at connecting the past to the present in terms of plan, form and orientation. Inspiration lays in the Jewish star and in the Kristallnatcht

Infant School The brief was to design an infant school for children ages 4-7. The school must be able to house years Reception to Year 2. The proposal is to act as a nurturing and stimulating environment to study in. An environment that evokes creativity and a willingness to learn . The psychology associated with children’s learning environment is of particular interest for this proposal.
A part circular plan which is split up into different blocks based on function. This creates courtyards which acts as break out spaces. Every element of the classrooms is well considered from the design of the ‘fun’ furniture to the materiality and facade details. This is an experimental proposal aimed to nurture children through their most important life stages. Summer Perspective

Visualisation for Wilkinson Eyre Architects
A six month placement is interwoven into the course structure at Bath University. My first placement was completed at AVR London, an architectural visualisation company based near London Bridge. During my time at AVR London I was truly enriched in the visualisation world and learnt a lot about the industry and the latest technological advancements. In particular the programs I advanced in were 3DSMAX, Corona Renderer and Photoshop. On top of this I had the extra pressure of working on projects as an individual artist which I found valuable.
