As a passionate and dedicated architectural professional, I have cultivated a strong foundation in design, bolstered by a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from the University of Brighton. My journey in the architectural field has led me to specialize as an Architectural Technologist, where I have honed my skills in creating innovative and functional designs across various sectors, including hospitality and education.
I am proficient in industry-standard software, such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, and 3D modeling tools like Revit, Maya, and Unreal Engine. These tools have enabled me to bring my creative visions to life, contributing to projects like the Kent Refugee Action Network’s education center, which holds a special place in my portfolio.
What drives me is a genuine passion for design and a keen eye for detail, which I continuously refine by staying engaged with the latest trends and innovations in the field. My experience is complemented by strong communication and organizational skills, allowing me to collaborate effectively with teams and clients to deliver high-quality work that meets and exceeds expectations.
In addition to my technical expertise, I am deeply committed to personal and professional growth. Relocation is not just a possibility for me; it's an exciting opportunity to immerse myself in new environments and bring my unique perspective to dynamic teams. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to projects that challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of design.
