About 

I offer solutions influenced by modern mobility, mechanical engineering and technology for a dynamic kind of architecture.
I am a fast learning team-player with leadership skills. Having an eye for detail and workability, whilst still achieving the bigger picture.

My expertise is in mobility in architecture; including pedestrian and light mobility circulation and simulation within buildings helping rethink the typologies in the future of architecture.

Mobility in Architecture with Greg Lynn - Conceptualising and understanding the next stage in architecture as light mobility vehicles become an active reality with non-combustive and electrical motors.
A reality where these devices become a part of the circulation and interaction in the building. Challenging the thresholds of accessibility and circulation in Building design.
This is established and expressed in 'agent-based simulation' to understand movement within building envelopes of different speeds and paths.
