About me Drawing and design have always been my passions. Ihave just completed a three year degree in Architecture at Not-tingham University. This has helped my team-working skills,and my confidence to create and present work independently.The projects in my portfolio are diverse - from a nursery schoolin South Africa to a conceptual subterranean ’healing space’.My aim is to build on these skills and experiences in a pro-fessional environment. I love to work as part of a team, toencourage other people, and learn new things.
