About ME

I am a Part II architecture graduate, having studied at the Glasgow School of Art. I'm interested in the effect that collaborative design can have on communities, and how hands-on construction can give people ownership over their space. Glasgow has given me an amazing insight into the power of community, and has made me realise that architecture is most effective when the users are engaged and involved in the design and construction, and the architect avoids a hierarchical approach. I have learnt how an appreciation of local knowledge, traditional skills and craftsmanship, community engagement and a general bottom-up approach to design can allow for social and environmental sustainability.
