My design journey began in architecture, where I developed a strong foundation in crafting human-centered experiences through spatial planning and community-focused design. This background taught me to approach each brief with empathy, adapting solutions to meet diverse needs while working across different tools and contexts.

Due to COVID, our final university projects were based in Canterbury. Staying local allowed us to build a deeper connection with the city—enhancing our cultural understanding and informing more contextually grounded design decisions.
