I am a London-based architect and designer blending architectural practice with visual storytelling. My work spans drafting, design development and 3D visualisation across architectural and production-design contexts, with commissions and collaborations for clients such as Uber and the Victoria & Albert Museum. I enjoy pursuing architecture competitions and personal projects that push creative boundaries while delivering clear, buildable outcomes. Beyond architecture, I have a passion for electronic music, philosophy, and cycling. I play the saxophone, enjoy painting and reading, and stay active in the Edinburgh Architecture Student community as well as maintaining my RIBA Student Member engagement. I combine a collaborative mindset with hands-on making, from model-making to digital fabrication, to bring ideas to life.
