My architectural training and experience in many customer/client facing roles, makes me an effective problem solver, an efficient worker, and a creative, ambitious individual who also values developing and nurturing relationships with others. I thoroughly enjoy every stage of the design process; from exploring concepts and narratives, to design development and finally the detailing and fabrication where the project becomes realised. However, the opportunity for experimenting with new and innovative approaches to design is something I continuously seek out and is the realm within which I truly thrive. My interests extend beyond architecture and include fashion and graphic design, music, and writing. In recent years I have developed a keen interest and passion for gender politics and the impact of body variation on architectural and fashion design. I am currently conducting research on these topics, with plans to publish in the near future.

•PLAYBODY is an independent experimental design practice founded by myself and several colleagues from the Bartlett School of Architecture. •The current project explores the intimate relationship between the body and architecture through an interactive and immersive architectural installation. •These installations are exhibited through events designed to celebrate queer and marginal communities, these events are sex and body positive and provide a supportive and safe space for these communities to come together.
