I am an architect, educator, and researcher with over twenty-five years of experience in practice and teaching. As Senior Lecturer and Stage Leader, I mentor emerging architects while shaping curricula that value curiosity, craft, experimentation, and integration.
My teaching emphasises student-centred learning, encouraging design exploration through iterative and intermedial processes and fostering interdisciplinary, cross-boundary approaches. I contribute nationally and internationally as a visiting critic and External Examiner.
My professional practice spans the design of buildings of diverse typologies and public spaces, as well as restoration and adaptive reuse, including award-winning residential projects. During a sabbatical abroad, I contributed to research on lightweight, energy-efficient buildings, components, and retrofit solutions.
I am fascinated by thresholds—the in-between states, whether spatial, temporal, psychological, or conceptual. I envision them as realms in their own right, charged by the presence of the adjacent. It is within this liminal tension that fertile ground emerges for exploration, experimentation, and transformation.

I am currently the Stage 1 Leader (Head of 1st Year) in the BArch programme at the Mackintosh School of Architecture (MSA). I oversee all academic and administrative aspects of the first year, including the development and implementation of the curriculum, the teaching of design studio, theoretical and practical foundations of design and architectural studies, and the delivery of interdisciplinary subjects. Additionally, I deliver the course Structural Design 1.
