PORTFOLIO

Hi There...

I have recently graduated my Masters in Architecture Degree, Cum Laude, at Nelson Mandela University in South Africa. Over the 6 years of studying I have gained a wealth of knowledge and skills that have helped me to produce the work found in this portfolio.

Led by my natural curiosity and problem solving skills, I chose Architecture as it complemented my own passions. I see it as the meeting point of art and engineering, two passions hold dear to myself. I believe that i possess a comprehensive blend of both design and technical understandings that have helped me to succeed in Competitions and in my educational endeavours.

My undergraduate years in Architectural Technology is where i developed my production skills. Here i was able to hone my skills in 3D modeling and technical drawings. My post-graduate years enabled me to explore architectural design and theory without a worry for production skill development. This Culminated in my final treatise project which i believe displays the pinnacle of my skills and knowledge gained at university.

My passion for Architecture, Design and Detailing has been further cemented in my masters year, inspiring me to continue to explore and gain knowledge from the workplace and my surroundings, never losing my curiosity and thirst for learning.

I am seeking a work environment that will help me to grow, explore and develop new skills, new understands and new ways of working. I look forward to being a productive member of your firm.
