About
Curiosity and intrigue drive my approach to design; I love creating environments with visual impact that are technically resolved and harmonious. Since earning my degree, I have developed extensive experience across both Concept and Design & Build sectors, delivering end-user projects from initial brief through to completion. My responsibilities have included producing technical drawing packs, managing and leading projects, and presenting proposals. I have had the privilege of working with clients such as CBRE, Swissport, Taylor Estates, and CAVU.
I am highly motivated, with a rigorous attention to detail and a collaborative mindset. I enjoy mentoring junior team members, coordinating with clients and contractors, and delivering design solutions that balance aesthetics with practicality.
