About

I'm an architectural designer in Liverpool, working on residential, mixed-use, and commercial interior fit-out projects from initial discussion to construction. At OCTO Architects, I lead and support projects across the RIBA Stage sequence. I coordinate engineers, consultants, planners, and contractors to ensure projects are not only well designed but also technically resolved.

I believe that technical and creative design go hand in hand. The quality of a planning application, the accuracy of construction details, and good consultant coordination are just as important to a project's success as the initial design concept. I aim to bring the same care and attention to detail to every aspect of the architectural process.

Before OCTO, I spent a year at The Way We Build in Amsterdam, a sustainability-focused practice. Their approach to community housing, passive design, and circular construction shaped how I think about architecture. Working on CPO Centrumeiland gave me experience with a unique procurement model and design culture: one in which the relationship between a building, its future residents, and the environment is a design problem from the start.

That year sits behind everything I do. It's why sustainability isn't a specification checkbox for me but a design position and why I'm particularly interested in projects where architecture has to work harder than just looking good.

With a background in graphic design, I use it as a professional tool. Clear planning submissions perform better than unclear ones. Presentations that translate technical decisions into plain language build stronger relationships. I make every document from concept report to construction drawing as clear as it is accurate.

I'm currently completing the RIBA Principal Designer Course and building a specialism in design management and CDM compliance, focusing on the organisational and safety aspects that ensure projects are delivered to the standard for which they were designed.
