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.
