Graduate of architecture and design with a keen interest in healthcare design particularly. Eager to further my understanding of the discipline while undertaking my Masters of Architecture program mid-year. A motivated worker with experience working in a variety of team structures involving multidisciplinary collaboration. I aspire to deliver effective and pragmatic design directed at positive outcomes for targeted users. My background in healthcare gives me valuable insight into how these outcomes may be delivered. The last year working in the field has invigorated my interest into how lives might be improved through effective, tailored design, which is consistent with Plain’s core tenants. With an intense attention to detail and strong desire to learn, I feel prepared to kick-start my career in architecture and design.
