elegant, practical, joyful

Hello!
This is me...

ARB Registered Architect

We always start by listening. Client and Architect work closely together with users and other professionals, as needed, to develop a solid brief, unlocking opportunities and a clear direction for the project.

Design is very much human-centred, and seeks a balanced flow of space and light, with thoughtful connections & transitions between interiors to the outdoors. 

I really appreciate an elegant solution to a complex challenge... call it puzzles & poetry. Oooh, and I have a thing for beautiful brickwork. And plenty of storage.

We work together to make joyful spaces for living.

Experience

I've spent 10+ years working for award-winning design practices in London on a rich portfolio of projects big and small, with a focus on medium-scale residential housing, but also in community & education sectors. I've spent 5 years working in Kent with private clients, imagining and re-imagining their homes in town & country. I've also been a studio tutor at Brighton University.
