01Profile

Design-aware delivery architect.

Architect with 10+ years of international experience across the UK, UAE and Poland, working on residential, hospitality, government, diplomatic, civic and commercial projects. My experience spans concept design, design development, planning and authority submissions, multidisciplinary coordination and technical documentation in Revit.

I specialise in translating design intent into coordinated architectural packages, with particular experience in façades, residential layouts, public buildings and complex interfaces between architecture, structure and building services.

Working across different project cultures has made me comfortable moving between early design thinking and detailed delivery. I work best in collaborative teams where design decisions are tested against programme, buildability, coordination and client requirements, and where responsibility for a package is carried through to a reliable output.
