I believe in good design.
As a registered architect, writer, and creative strategist, I have an unconventional and diverse experience skillset. I pride myself on an acute attention to detail and a robust process of design methodology concerned only with exceptional outcomes.
My creative practice manifests itself across various disciplines. I’ve spent time getting to know architecture, interior design, urban design, and brand and communications across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
In the latter half of 2023 I took a sabbatical for some educational travel, visiting cities across Australia, North America, Europe and Asia. Armed with a new breadth of knowledge and experience, I seek exciting and collaborative opportunities for meaningful contribution.

My experience as an interdisciplinary designer has contributed to the development of invaluable and transferable skills. Responsibility and accountability for managing complex project deliverables has yielded strong problem-solving, communication, and resource and self-management skills. I pride myself on an acute attention to detail which underpins this skillset. In various design roles over the course of a decade, I have worked on projects of diverse scale and complexity across mixed typologies.
In addition to working within architecture, I have spent time in teams responsible for urban design, interior design, graphic design and brand and communications projects. My experience involves a robust process of design methodology to determine best outcomes for projects, anticipating design issues and preparing solutions accordingly. At the core of this methodology is working with clients, stakeholders, and specialist consultants and developing and maintaining these important relationships
I am fundamentally motivated and influenced by my personal values; it is of great importance to me to act with integrity and sincerity. I work to be intentional in my personal and professional conduct and always aim to be confident, approachable, and empathetic, to connect well with others and work well as part of a team. As someone who is passionate about working with space and the experience of our environment, I take pride in my ability to build strong relationships between people and place.
