About 

Having completed my architectural studies I am now looking for a full time work opportunity to gain experience in the architectural world and better my own architectural style. I graduated from University of Lincoln in the UK with a bachelor’s degree, and completed my master's degree at the University of East London.

My greatest skill in architecture would be model making, and In 2012 I was given the opportunity to work for a small architectural firm in Dubai, UAE for 5 months, where I was able to put my model making skills to good use and understand how the architectural process works in the UAE. Along with model making I was given an introduction to Autodesk Revit, and also had a major design influence for a competition design brief which was for a new mosque in an area of the UAE for the office of the minister of presidential affairs in Abu Dhabi.

While I am currently unemployed and actively looking for a job, I pass the time by doing odd jobs for my property developer brother by creating sketch plans for possible building investments and developing a better understanding in the necessary architecture software's.

I am very keen to expand on my architectural knowledge, so if that means having to relocate, I would seize the opportunity to do so to gain any valuable experience.

I believe my work is creative, and hope that by getting any opportunity I will be able to channel my creativity and enhance my skills through a better understanding of practical application of architecture. 

Employment 

Whitespace Architects, Dubai, AE, Architectural Intern

I was mainly asked to make physical models of various projects under development. I was also asked to research for a competition to generate ideas to design a local mosque, for which i had a big input to the overall design. I was also asked to create new and unique patterning for shading and building designs.
