I am a creative young person who loves solving problems and taking on new challenges. Art has always been a massive part of my life, therefore I express my ideas through drawings and sketches. In my free time, I learn new skills to better communicate my design ideas. The Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award has helped me develop teamwork and leadership skills. Due to my competitive nature, I strive to become the best possible at everything I do. One of my projects was successful enough to allow me to present it to city councillors in Ryde.
Traveling to countries like Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, Italy, France, and Indonesia has exposed me to various cultures and architectural styles, influencing my approach to projects. As a designer, I aim to create unique designs that respect their surroundings.

Cultural Compass
COCKLE POND, GOSPORT 2024
This project is zooming into my previous master plan, which aims to enrich the cultural landscape by introducing new opportunities for residents and visitors. This is a cultural building designed to draw people from the High Street into the park; the building serves as a gateway, guiding visitors through the site. The building’s form harmonises with the site’s grid, ensuring aesthetic appeal, environmental sensitivity, and functional efficiency. Designed to captivate attention, the structure utilises high contrast in materiality and textures, drawing inspiration from the historic fortifications of the Gosport Lines. The exterior’s robust appearance, which reminds of bastions, contrasts sharply with the interior’s soft, light timber finishes, symbolising a journey through a forest. With its unique curves and thoughtful detailing, the structure not only tells a story of the park’s past but also serves as a beacon for cultural engagement in the present and future.
Functioning as a “cultural compass,” the building serves as a gateway to the park, directing visitors through its spaces. A highlight is the comprehensive gallery, showcasing rotating exhibitions by local artists every 1-2 months. This strategy ensures a continuous flow of fresh themes and styles, drawing locals to revisit the centre regularly for new cultural experiences. Flexibility is a crucial aspect, with a multi-purpose ground floor space adaptable for events, exhibitions, and presentations. The design also includes entertainment areas for community gatherings, concerts, markets, and more.
POWER OF NATURE TRAIL
PORTSMOUTH, HILSEA LINES 2022
This building will serve as a gallery space for local artists/ designers. A gallery space would work really well because it would change constantly, which would encourage people to visit more frequently. A showcase of local artists’ work contributes to the community’s unity as well as allowing local artists to showcase their work.
As for the design, I wanted something that would stand out. In light of this, I have chosen a more triangular design. The contrast will attract more people. Additionally, I designed my gallery space to be fully open to allow the path to run straight through it to encourage more people to come in. By doing this, everyone who wants to get past the building has to pass through it, which gives them a glimpse of what’s inside, which may catch their attention. I have decided on using corten steel and weathered wood for the exterior of my building, these weathered materials represent the power of nature. Corten steel will also make my design stand out because its brown/ orange colour will strongly contrast the greens of the grass/ trees.
SOMETHING OLD SOMETHING NEW SOMETHING BORROWED SOMETHING BLUE
PORTSMOUTH, THE HARD 2023
This project was located at a locally well known area in Portsmouth, a well-known tourist destination that includes numerous attractions, such as Spinnaker tower, HMS Warrior ship and Gunwharf Quays. Having designed this building, I strived to make it stand out from its neighbouring buildings while still respecting the history and culture.
This building serves as an exhibition and studio space for local artists/ designers. The main challenge with this project was to design a building that doesn’t block any of the windows on the side of the building next door. My solution to this problem is to open up a gap between the two buildings and cover the existing side with a green wall to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
A simple frosted glass facade covers the front of the building. This creates a strong contrast to the neighborhooding buildings as they are all made up of limestone or brick, with lots of textures and details. As a result of this element of transparency, people are curious and tempted to explore what’s inside.
SANDSTORM SAVER
Rain Collector
PERSONAL PROJECTS
2023
This project was an experiment with Rhino and V-ray, as I have never used them before. I had this idea of a pink structure in a desert. I wanted a contrast in colours and textures. This is me playing around with rendering and 3D visualisation. I aimed to create a render that tells a story and creates an atmosphere. The project has no brief and no regulations; it was just getting my fictional ideas to come alive.
The structure’s purpose is to collect rainwater in the dry desert. It acts as ‘pit stops’ for the bedouin (desert dwellers) who cross the deserts. The structure provides shade, water and shelter against sandstorms.
HAYFIELD HIDEAWAY
PERSONAL PROJECTS
I had this vision of a hayfield in a sunset, but I didn’t know what else would go into the composition. I aimed for a lonely, quiet atmosphere as if it were abandoned. I liked the idea of a hideaway like it’s hidden from everyday life. The colours and the composition of the image tell a story. The dog and the swing suggest that a family might live here. However, the lonely chair and the man might imply he is alone. Has something happened with his family? Does he even live here? Where is everyone else? The goal was to make the viewer speculate and think of the narrative. The viewer can create their own story of why and what’s happening in this image.
The architecture is secondary in this piece. The aim was something simple that doesn’t stand out that much. The harsh concrete material of the building contrasts with the tall grass. However, the pale grey colour blends the structure with the landscape; instead of focusing on the architecture, the render works with it to support the story.
PHOTOGRAPHY
In addition to drawing, I enjoy experimenting with photography as well. The beauty of photography is that it allows me to capture special moments and places in a way which hasn’t been seen before. Travelling or visiting new places is when I play with photography most often because it allows me to capture those places in an unique format. At the moment, I have been playing around with vintage cameras, such as polaroids, film and pinhole cameras.
These vintage cameras produce the most textured and unique images ever. Despite their simplicity, these techniques are extremely reactive to light and temperature changes, which is why I love them so much. It is impossible to get the same result twice with a film camera, making it the best way to capture memories. The texture that these film images have makes the images much more interesting and lively.
