About 

I am a passionate and dedicated architectural professional with a strong foundation in design, construction management, and project execution. I hold a Bachelor of Architecture from Central University, where I developed essential skills in freehand drawing, model building, and design thinking. My academic journey was marked by my drive for excellence, which earned me commendation from my studio lecturers in my third year. To further refine my skills, I pursued a Master’s course in Construction Management, equipping myself with advanced knowledge in building processes and project delivery.

Currently serving as an Associate Architect at Bricklane Development Group, I have contributed to numerous residential and commercial projects, gaining hands-on experience in project management and architectural design. My expertise extends to Afrocentric, tropical, and culturally rooted architectural theories, drawn from my practice in Ghana. In addition to my role at Bricklane, I am co-managing 'Inspo7,' a young and small architectural firm in Ghana, where I engage in the creative exploration of materials and finishes for unique spatial experiences.

I am also a candidate for the Ghana Institute of Architects' licensing exams, aiming to become a licensed architect by 2025. This next step in my career reflects my commitment to professional growth and the deepening of my architectural practice. Recently, I was selected for a funded program to further my studies abroad, a testament to my drive to expand my understanding of design.

An architect with a multidisciplinary approach, I am keenly focused on creating spaces that prioritize both aesthetics and safety—a philosophy shaped by a near-drowning experience that profoundly influenced my perspective on user-centric design. Through my work at Inspo7 and Bricklane Development Group, I aim to deliver innovative, safe, and culturally relevant projects that stand out in an ever-competitive industry
