PROFILE I am passionate about architecture and believe that well designed spaces have the ability to revitalise communities and improve lives and livelihoods. I want to use my architectural skills and experience as a force for positive change; to ensure even the most disadvantaged in society are provided safe, secure and – above all else – inspiring places to live and work.
