I am a Chartered Architect, with award-winning experience across various sectors including the arts, commercial, residential, mixed-use and master planning. I have extensive experience in conservation work, and have won several open international design competitions, including Europan 8 UK in Oldham, sponsored by CABE, in 2006. I trained in UK at the University of Edinburgh and at UCL, but lived for many years overseas prior to this, in the United States, and in Norway. I also lived for a short while in Austria, whilst on Erasmus exchange in Graz. I also enjoyed teaching Architecture for three years between 2001-2004 at the University of Sheffield’s Diploma School within the School of Architecture, and have also been a juror at UCL at Degree, Diploma and Masters levels, before deciding to focus on my professional career as a practitioner.
