About me

I am a graduate of the Landscape Architecture honours course at the University of Technology Sydney. I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and consider it my home.

I visited much of Greater Sydney by public transport as a child, developing a fascination for trains, buses, and ferries. As this matured with age, the intricacies of the transport network led to an interest in planning through the places the network linked, and the social factors which compose them.

I still carry this interest in transport and planning today, but I found a passion in applying similar logics to spaces. That is, why are our urban spaces the way they are? From the defining social factors like how important a space is to the community, to design factors such as how it’s used, what the climate’s like, the surrounding buildings, and who designed it.

Since the beginning of my formal design education (and probably before), I’ve experienced every place I visit through this lens, whether on a bus, riding my bike, on foot, or through the computer screen. What truly inspires me is experiences which couldn’t be achieved at any other site, and that’s what I strive to accomplish with my design practice.
