ARUP Specialist consulting role, working with design teams from Gensler, Bjarke Ingels Group, OMA etc. Also worked across design delivery, on computational R&D & technology/ software rollout.
Project Management intern in Advisory Services Automated tool created to streamline employee onboarding; coordinating with project managers and stakeholders.
Fourpoint Architects Draughtsman
I developed a portfolio of revit families for use on all future projects. Applying this to live projects taught me how to enhance my own workflow further.
In a small team sponsored by Morgan Lovell I acted as design lead. I co-developed a retrofit solution to improve bandsaw operator safety across the country. A prototype was presented to a senior IOSH board and was also recognised by Constructing Excellence where our team won both ‘Innovation’ and ‘People’s Choice’ categories at SECBE 2020 awards.
Faced real-world design challenges in creation of residential project; I overcame these through iterative modelling & technical drawings which I presented back to senior staff.

Collaborative Project- Keith Green Building, Loughborough
The collaborative project’s proposed extension to the Keith Green building emphasises the journey from novice to expert which begins on the ground floor; the Part A students commence learning in this space and progress up the floors of the Keith Green building as they move through their degree. This is visually highlighted by the central void which connects all three floors and cohorts, the parametric façade (taking inspiration from the design of the Al Bahar Towers) is designed via grasshopper and linked to light intensity parameters to enable responses to changes in the surrounding climate - a passive measure to reduce energy demand and improve the building efficiency. 03/2023

2 Nottingham Contemporary Extension
Weekday Cross, Nottingham
Inspired by Nottingham’s industrial legacy, the Contemporary Community Space extends the gallery with a five-storey tower, celebrating the city’s heritage of craftsmanship and fabrication. A modular façade of steel, timber, and polycarbonate creates an ethereal glow, connecting the site to its surroundings. The programme unfolds from Forge Below, a heavy machinery workshop in the basement, to The Pinnacle, a viewing platform offering sweeping vistas of the regenerated district. With spaces dedicated to hands-on workshops, independent makers, and craft businesses, the extension fosters creativity, reconnecting Nottingham’s people to its industrial roots through light-filled, collaborative spaces. 10/2024

2 Nottingham Contemporary Pavillion
The Green Heart, Nottingham
The People’s Pavilion monumentalises everyday creativity, bringing art into public spaces. Cantilevered over the water in Nottingham’s Green Heart, this flexible structure hosts film screenings, installations, and community events, expanding the reach of Nottingham Contemporary’s exhibitions. Its softly glowing, modular façade acts as a second beacon, sparking conversation and drawing audiences to engage with cinematic and sculptural art. A landmark for a newly regenerated area, the pavilion fosters inclusivity, celebrating art as a unifying force within the community.

The Forge, Community Sports Centre
Coal Drops Yard, London
The Forge is a dynamic sports facility uniting students, local youth, and Coal Drops Yard workers through shared sports experiences. The design activates site boundaries to define a public realm, while skylights and southeastern-facing glazing bring natural light into the gym and studio. An open-plan gym, outdoor bouldering, and a multifunctional studio are complemented by a welcoming café, fostering social interaction and encouraging locals to drop in. Visual connections between spaces inspire users to explore new activities, while patterned glazing along public pathways balances privacy with curiosity, inviting engagement without compromise.

Collaborative Project- RGS The Grange, Prep School
Working in collaboration with ‘RGS the Grange’ Primary school on a given site by the main school building the challenge was creating a classroom of the future. This would enhance children’s education by engaging them in their learning in an indoor/outdoor setting. The final intervention focuses around the retention of concentration in education, whilst incorporating multi-purpose design to create a free space that can adapt for both children and teachers.

FIBA / IHF Compliant Venue Modelling Exercise
Design Sprint Testing
This 5000 seat arena was developed to host FIBA and IHF events, catering for both regulation basketball and handball matches to be played. The project has two seating configurations as illustrated below, with floor seating used on the basketball stadium and tiered seating only for the larger handball field of play. Access routes, practical overlays, and materiality were also spectulated.

Stadium Design Competition
Unrealised Project
This project is a 20,000-seat stadium, with the entry maintaining a strong focus on the club’s identity. The form and concept were driven by the club’s branding and ethos, while the facade was tightly integrated with the minimum roof-line required to cover all seating and span the steel frame. This approach minimized excess materials and created a compact, efficient structure. Compliance and safety were key priorities in the master-plan, with crowd flow and emergency/VIP access carefully distributed around the stadium’s perimeter.
The below bowl was the outcome of the iterative design centred around accessibility, ticket types, and the positioning of fans’ eyepoints to ensure they have high scoring C and A value views of the pitch. The C value is mandated by FIFA whilst the A value scores the perceived field of play in view; creating these graphics demonstrated the implications of design changes on ultimately the fan experience.
The two bowls below was created parametrically based on a grid structure, with tiered seating arrayed in bays, the left structural graphic is for a 30,000 seat stadium, and the right graphic represents a 20,000 seat stadia, with VIP seating indicated in purple and GA in yellow.
Compliant C and A values were tested in both arrangements, with seatkill (cutouts) also implimented where WC access and bays are intended and to ensure accessibility Corner access is another key consideration for emergency pitch access, security, and for groundskeepers. 11/2023

A Sanctuary for Shoreditch
Shoreditch High Street
In the heart of Shoreditch, a multi-faith reflective space and library is testament to the rich architectural heritage and sacred forms that have shaped the local community. The design follows the concept of a symbolic pathway to enlightenment, guiding visitors through knowledge towards a contemplative space. The peak experience is reached in the sacred space, fostering unity and shared spirituality among visitors of different faiths. It provides a sanctuary where people are inspiried to seek knowledge, find solace, and connect with something greater than themselves. 06/2023
Sustainability Strategy and Exploded Axonometric Shoreditch’s Sustainable Sanctuary
‘Arch Fusion’ blends heritage and creativity, transforming Shoreditch’s iconic arch typology into a temporary gallery. Inspired by the architectural language of Temple Church, the design incorporates Gothic and classical elements, creating a dynamic space where tradition meets personalisation. The repeated arches, adapted from local influences, serve as canvases for artistic expression, offering a unique setting that celebrates both the past and Shoreditch’s vibrant artistic spirit.

Sculpture
Both the painting and sculpture are derived from investigating degredation and erosion within the urban built environement. The sculpture’s prominent structure and wire controlled tilt contrasts the abstraction depicted on it’s faces. This precariousness provides an entirely different viewing experience dependant on how it is viewed (i.e. from what angle, lighting).
Photomontage Artwork Paintings
The photo- montage artwork relates to mapping of the Shoreditch area during the libray project, with the aim of producing a regionalist study. The second is a mixed media, and painted board reinventing the library project’s deliverables in an abstract reinvention of prints presented over pin ups of the Semester.
