I am originally from the south of England and have been fascinated by how things are made from an early age. My undergraduate studies took place at a multidisciplinary art school, where I was fortunate to explore a wide range of creative disciplines. I ultimately chose to specialise in architecture and continued my education at postgraduate level, qualifying as an architect at University College London.
Following this, I gained over a decade of experience working in design studios both in the UK and internationally, contributing to projects ranging from furniture to skyscrapers. My academic path later led me to the University of Oxford, where I pursued further studies in Architectural History and Sustainable Urban Development and was awarded a scholarship for my research on urban sustainability.
Over the past five years, I have taught a variety of courses in architecture, design, urban studies, and research at the Architectural Institute in Prague and the Brno University of Technology. In addition to my work in higher education, I have also contributed to teaching at both international and state schools in the Czech Republic.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy exploring Prague with my two young sons. My personal interests include cooking, running, travel, and all things related to art, design, and photography.
