I am an Architectural Designer specialising in research-driven adaptive reuse and interior transformations within historic buildings. My practice is defined by a blend of academic rigour and hands-on execution, holding a Master’s in Architecture and Historic Urban Environments from UCL Bartlett and a BA in Interior and Spatial Design from UAL.
Since 2025, I have been contributing to the team at Each Design, where I apply my focus on spatial narrative and historical context to professional projects. My background is diverse: from site-based heritage repair works at Cody Dock in London to a three-year tenure at TOAST, which refined my sensitivity to interior atmosphere and material execution.
From circulation strategies to material detailing, my work prioritises how inhabitants—both human and non-human—genuinely interact with space. Whether developing shared pathways for urban biodiversity or integrating habitats within heritage ruins, I am committed to preserving both ecological and historical layers. I am driven by the challenge of translating complex research into designs that are functional, sustainable, and deeply rooted in the living ecosystem of a place.
