Architectural designer and part time musician whose passion revolves around investigating the relationship between architecture and myth building. Whether through installation work/research to the design of built structures I am constantly searching for the emotional connection made by architecture as a conduit for memories about place, and how media crafts narratives and myths regarding how we choose to live and connect to time, site, material and each other.
