I'm an architectural designer, builder and community facilitator. In 2022 I co-founded Common Practice, a social design and making studio that seeks to connect people to their surrounding productive landscapes. My experience is largely around regenerative place-based design, ranging from research into natural materials and supply chains to participatory design, making and construction.
