Most recently I have been working in the education sector as the Project Architect for the new build East Calder Primary School in West Lothian, Scotland. My professional portfolio covers a variety of experience in different sectors; automotive, hospitality, food proceeding, agriculture and residential including large scale mix-use developments, working with significant listed buildings and smaller scale bespoke homes.
I have experience preparing local authority applications for a variety of different project types and running BIM coordination workshops with the design team and contractor.
Since early 2019 I have been a registered architect with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) in the United Kingdom.
I have a keen interest in sustainable architecture, bespoke design, innovation, urban design and place making.
I am available immediately to work remotely and open to relocate.
