I am a passionate, hard-working individual with more than two years experience in design-led architecture practices. In addition to working effectively under my own initiative, I enjoy working as part of a team. I also demonstrate strong problem solving skills and excel under pressure. My work at university showcases a high level of conceptual design and helped develop my verbal and graphic communication skills. My time spent in architectural practice strengthened my technical expertise and has given me a solid base of practical knowledge to draw from.
