Education
Skills
Bachelor of Interior Architecture (Honours) Swinburne University (2020 - 2024)
Studying Interior Architecture at Swinburne University provided me with a strong foundation in design principles, hands-on experience with innovative tools, and the opportunity to collaborate on projects that emphasise both creativity and functionality in shaping impactful spaces.
VCE
The Knox School (2014 - 2019)
At The Knox School, my creativity and leadership skills blossomed, nurtured by an environment that encouraged initiative, collaboration, and innovative thinking across diverse projects and activities.
Awards and Leadership included Prefect (2019), House Captain (2018), DUX Music Performance (2019), Music Captain (2018-2019), Soccer Captain (2016-2019).
This project, centered on designing student accommodations for individuals aged 18-25, allowed me to apply insights from my travels. Exposure to diverse cultures and architectural styles enabled me to incorporate these influences into a design that resonates with a wide range of users and evokes an emotional connection. This large-scale project also deepened my understanding of the distinct needs between client and builder perspectives. I utilized my skills in Revit to create a parametric roof design, demonstrating both my technical expertise and creative approach to problem-solving.

This project involved designing a functional, experiential, and culturally respectful Corroboree Centre in Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs, featuring a large performance ground, gallery, café, three indoor stages, a workshop area, and a garden. These spaces provide visitors with opportunities to learn, socialize, perform, and observe. The building’s design and layout facilitate a seamless flow, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the rich culture and traditions of Aboriginal Australians, creating an atmosphere where they can transcend into a realm of cultural significance and connection.
This project provided me with a deeper understanding of sustainable building features. Designed to bring people together at the existing Chesterfield Farm in Scoresby, VIC, the building’s facade was strategically crafted to allow light to enter from the east while blocking intense sunlight from the west, enhancing both energy efficiency and user comfort.
The building’s overall design harmonises with the site context, seamlessly connecting the outdoor environment with the interior spaces.

Year: 2024
Capstone Project, Revit Skillls, Enscape Rendering, Spatial Planning, Entertainment Precinct
The proposed music center in St Kilda is envisioned as a vibrant community hub, fostering collaboration through learning, performance, and creative expression. Designed as an inclusive space for people of all backgrounds, it will bring together musicians, students, and music enthusiasts, enriching local culture and strengthening community spirit. Key design considerations include a seamless spatial flow that maintains the unique purpose of each area—whether for practice, performance, education, or socializing—while blending them into a cohesive, inviting atmosphere. This approach promotes a balanced environment that supports both focused activities and spontaneous interactions. To optimize the site, the design preserves the existing underground parking lot, with the new music studio and lounge thoughtfully positioned above ground.

Photography & Travel
Photography and travel are essential parts of my identity, fueling my curiosity and shaping my design perspective. From a young age, I was fortunate to immerse myself in diverse cultures and witness a wide range of architectural styles, which sparked my fascination with the ways spaces can evoke emotion and connect people. These experiences have become a rich source of inspiration in my work. Many of my projects weave together elements I’ve observed in various places, blending details that I found exceptionally impactful—from the vibrant colors of one region to the thoughtful use of space in another. This approach allows me to create designs that feel layered, meaningful, and connected to a broader cultural tapestry.
