ABOUT ME
I’m a passionate design thinker who likes to explore the connection and impact our built environment has on people and their behaviour.
​
In an ever more urban context what does it mean to be connected, to create liveable cities and to design resilient and safe places?
​
With a broad foundation of knowledge and experience within the residential development sector, current project work in infrastructure projects of national significance and academic interest in safer cities design I am looking to join a firm leading the industry in resilient future focused design approaches.
​
I have proven my leadership skills within interdisciplinary consultancy teams and successfully project managed placemaking, strategic advisory and masterplanning project at my current company. My considered, human-focused approach to urban design and project management allow me to confidently lead a multi-disciplinary design team and have empathetic client relationship management.
​My capability, management skills and drive have naturally lead me to be tasked with responsibilities and challenges that would typically be associated with a more senior role as I strive to develop both my professional and academic pursuits.
