About Me.

Born in 1996 with an avid interest in art, started my architectural journey in 2013 with a Bachelor degree in Architecture from Newcastle University. The completion led to the journey into experiencing different avenues of architecture (albeit minimal) through the introduction of Interior Design career. Whilst the experience was short, the amount of knowledge gained helped to kick-start career in Architecture-  from Chief Draughtsman to Architectural Assistant Part I to finally Architectural Assistant Part II.
