I strive to be a better communicator by presenting ideas and information simply, precisely, and concisely. I work in in the fields of heritage, architecture, and placemaking. With my experience as a design practitioner, conservation specialist and urban humanities researcher, I combine the rigour and discipline of project delivery with curiosity and empathy that define people-centred design research. I specialise in reading urban conditions and architectural spaces; using my unique insights to analyse the present, and speculate the future.
