Biography

I am an architect, educator, and researcher with over twenty-five years of experience in teaching and practice. I hold a Diploma and a Master of Architecture, obtained a PGCert in Teaching Art and Design, and undertook foundational studies in civil engineering as well as psychology.

As Senior Lecturer and Stage Leader, I mentor emerging architects and shape student-centred curricula that foster curiosity, craft, analysis and critical thinking, 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 from designing buildings of diverse typologies to restoration and adaptive reuse.

During a recent sabbatical abroad, I contributed to research on lightweight, energy-efficient structures and retrofit solutions.

I am fascinated by the concept of thresholds, the ‘in-between’ that simultaneously permits relations and conflicts, an osmosis of spatial, material, temporal, environmental and experiential forces. It is within this liminal tension that possibilities for exploration, experimentation, and transformation begin to emerge.

Teaching

I am currently the Stage 1 Leader (Head of 1st Year) in the BArch programme at the Mackintosh School of Architecture (MSA). I coordinate the academic and administrative aspects of Stage 1, which includes the development and implementation of the design curriculum, the teaching of design studio, theoretical and practical foundations of design and architectural studies, and the delivery of interdisciplinary activities. Additionally, I am the course leader for Structural Design 1.
