I am an enthusiastic, confident person with excellent organisation and communication skills. Both reliable and dependable with the ability to relate to and work effectively with people from all backgrounds, nationalities, ages and professions.
Mindful of social issues, I see architecture as an instrument of inspiration. I believe the combination of creative playful architecture, sustainable design and business is a mechanism to develop desirable social and commercial environments.
Living in Dubai allows me to venture easily into the rest of the world and other cultures; something I use to enhance and add to my day to day working life. I am an outgoing individual who has an eye for the details of a scheme.
As an associate I go beyond the role of a qualified Architect; I undertake not only my own schemes, but also oversee and manage other staff members and their projects. Supervising progress and advising on issues throughout the consultant team that arise during the design and construction processes.
I am a proficient problem solver and thrive on projects that constantly challenge my personal, architectural and professional abilities. I aspire to find an employer who will allow me to continue to develop with a view to delivering successful schemes for high end brands and clients on time and on budget.

Diploma Sustainability Proposal
Brief: The parasitic, greedy and thirsty demand for food, water, energy and consumer goods has profoundly altered our relationships with our fragile planet and its eco systems. We need new sustainable cities sited strategically to benefit from renewable energy sources, fresh water supplies, and fertile land planned with the objective of ensuring the survival of the human occupation. These cities promise a new beginning, a chance to correct our mistakes, utilise our ingenuity to build a sustainable future world.
Design: Orchards, meadows, woods and coppice fields interlaced with irrigation canals form the new city fabric where recreation is a way of life and rooftop gardens double as translucent shelters for playful pursuits. All species live off the land in a harmonious co-existence. The city gardeners, florists, farmers and chefs work and manage the land

Brief: Create a SureStart bespoke building within the existing Amy Johnson Primary School site to give local children the best possible start in life
