I am an architect and PhD candidate by architectural design at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, where I also obtained by bachelor's and master's degrees. My PhD research, supervised by Professor Sophia Psarra and Professor Jane Rendell, is an exploration of the relationship between speech and drawing and the potential of speech as a creative medium: a tool for representation and design in the early stages of an architectural project. My work seeks to create a dialogue between the development of a creative practice that foregrounds speech and the design workshops of contemporary architectural practice. 

Alongside this PhD research, I am an associate lecturer at the University of Greenwich, as well as a PGTA within the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction for the MSc Learning Environments programme. At the University of Greenwich, I teach across design and history / theory disciplines, principally as a BSc first year design studio tutor and MArch second year thesis supervisor. Prior to this, I taught at Central Saint Martins UAL and Oxford Brookes University. I have also been a visiting critic to a variety of architecture schools. 

As a practicing architect, I worked almost exclusively in the education sector, working as project architect for school masterplans, extensions and new builds from early years through to sixth form education, and was involved in practice-based research into STEAM (science, technology, economics, art, maths) learning environments for secondary education.
