Graduated in 2020 from Oxford Brookes University with Distinction (RIBA Part II).

The title of my final project ‘Divine Digital, A Digitally Crafted Glory Facade’ developed from choreographing the digital craft of 3D printing to create form that was at once Christian symbolism and architecture in a reinterpreted design for the Glory Facade of the Sagrada Familia, Barcelona. 

Prior to joining Design Engine, I gained experience working with existing buildings in the residential sector in Shropshire – I developed an interest in working with the existing fabric of our built environment, extending beauty and craft intelligence by combining design and manufacturing with advanced technology.

During my undergraduate degree, I received the Professor of Architecture Prize for the School-Wide Best Critical Writing in Architecture for my dissertation which examined the role of ornamentation as both applied and integrated language with the paradigm shift to digital fabrication technologies.
