ABOUT ME
I’m a passionate design thinker who likes to explore the connection and impact our built environment has on people and their behaviour.
In an ever more urban context what does it mean to be connected, to create liveable cities and to design resilient and safe places?
With a broad foundation of knowledge and experience within the residential development sector, current project work in infrastructure projects of national significance and academic interest in safer cities design I am looking to join a firm leading the industry in resilient future focused design approaches.
I have proven my leadership skills within interdisciplinary consultancy teams and successfully project managed placemaking, strategic advisory and masterplanning project at my current company. My considered, human-focused approach to urban design and project management allow me to confidently lead a multi-disciplinary design team and have empathetic client relationship management.
My capability, management skills and drive have naturally lead me to be tasked with responsibilities and challenges that would typically be associated with a more senior role as I strive to develop both my professional and academic pursuits.
