Practice Ethos
​​
I believe meaningful architecture begins with people — with the stories they carry, the way they live, and how they want to feel in their space. Every project is unique and a collaboration, shaped by the rhythms of daily life and a deep respect for place.
​​​
My Path
​
My journey in architecture was shaped by my time at WISE (Welsh Institute for Sustainable Education), where I studied under RIBA award-winning architects David Lee and Pat Borer. Their thoughtful, practical approach continues to influence my work today.
​
I trained at:
-
University of Manchester (Part I )
-
Centre for Alternative Technology (Part II )
-
University of the West of England (Part III )

​
Practice & Progress
​
As an RIBA Chartered Architect and certified Passive House Designer, I’m committed to continuous learning — through hands-on projects, training, and sharing knowledge with others.
​
This journey has included working on innovative cob building and research for low cost housing in Ukraine, Assisting in leading technical workshops for emergency shelters in Gaza, hosting a Hempcrete workshop and volunteering days in the UK, and design collaborations in Malawi focused on safer homes and sanitation.
​
Attention to detail is at the heart of my work — carefully balancing performance, materials, and budget to create buildings that genuinely support the people who use them.
