︎ This website was created at the start of the COVID19 pandemic as an “inward facing” tool to share my on-going work when our final year shifted to the digital realm.... This website is currently being reformated to include better “outward facing” descriptions of the work. (March 2022)
︎︎︎ Rooted in the intersection of performance, theory and architecture, my work is energetic, eclectic, and often gravitates towards non-conformity. Over the past two years (September 2019 - December 2022), I have explored the themes of water, youth and engagement in the city. For instance, the "Foreshore Of Opportunity" project offers a strategy to change the socio-environmental relationship with water in London.
As a spatial designer, my practice blends traditional architectural analysis and interdisciplinary tools (ex: site-writting, collage, audio-visual compositions, body/movement studies, etc) with an aim to propose alternative visions for cities which include complex stakeholder networks, policies, funding routes, public programmes and design interventions.
︎︎︎ Having recently graduated from Central Saint Martins (MArch Spatial Design), I intend to keep on sharing further reflections on cities/landscapes and to bring fragments of my final thesis project (on water in cities) to life (ex: events/ workshops/ WARM EARTH LAB collaborations, Thames Festival Trust).
