Recent graduate of Bachelor of Design in Architecture and Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation at the University of Technology Sydney, I bring a strong foundation in architectural design paired with a unique, forward-thinking approach to problem-solving. My passion lies in creating meaningful, user-centric spaces that reflect individual stories and personalities. I believe that thorough site analysis is key to uncovering client needs and aspirations - allowing designers to enhance how people interact with the built environment and ultimately improve quality of life. Through my studies in transdisciplinary innovation, I’ve developed a broader perspective on design, drawing from diverse fields to inform innovative, human-focused architectural solutions. I’m driven by collaborative, cross-disciplinary work that translates insights into tangible, scalable design outcomes. I aim to apply hands-on, evidence-based methods to create spaces that are not only functional and aesthetically compelling but also socially and environmentally responsible.
