Graduating with a Bachelor of Architectural Design from the University of Adelaide, my work has featured in end-of-semester exhibitions. My ethos focuses on creating livable, well-designed, and affordable homes. I am passionate about hospitality and residential design, I draw inspiration from Australian and Japanese vernacular architecture and postmodern Scandinavian design. With strong interpersonal skills, adaptability, and problemsolving abilities, I excel under pressure. My longterm vision is to improve the accessibility of welldesigned residential architecture.

Wardu Eco Pod
Design Studio III
Displayed Skills: design, construction documentation, site planning ‘Wardu’ is Wombat in the Local Njadjuri Language. The pod is named Wardu due to its location on the site, being buried in the corner. The design brief was to design an ‘eco-pod’ on a remote site in the Clare Valley for high end accommodation that is completely self sufficient and allows the guests to engage with the site. The project also incorporated the overall sites master plan, including taking into account re-vegetation of the site, which had been degraded through previous use as pastoral lands.
Approaching wardu from the meandering path you find your little piece of paradise, secluded and tranquil, amongst what appears to be an ever expanding forest.
Looking out over your little piece of paradise you spot one of the countless native wild life that calls this rejuvenated landscape their home.
Housing For Companionship
Design Studio IV
Displayed Skills: Multi residential design, rendering, This housing model endeavors to unite at-risk youth through spaces that offer more than basic shelter; it provides a ‘third space’ for building companionship. An adaptable modular design, with high ceilings and modest space, creates cost-effective multi-person dwellings, and single unit dwellings that encourage the residents to engage with the spaces on site. Community integration is prioritized through ‘third spaces’, these are versatile communal spaces that encourage organic social interaction, both organised and impromptu. These ‘third spaces’ enable disenfranchised young people to build companionship with others who share similar experiences.
Type A
Type A is a collection of single bedroom units on the ground floor that provide enough space for everyday activities but encourage social through use of the site.

Patterbook Housing
Design Studio VI
Displayed Skills: Urban design, design and conceptual documentation of a project using rhino
The aim of this project is to enhance urban density through innovative downsizing strategies. By reducing the size of living spaces and optimizing land use, this project aims to accommodate more residents within existing urban footprints. This approach minimizes the need for outward expansion and promotes sustainable development, ensuring vibrant and resilient cities for future generations.
