ABOUT ME

My current work looks to tackle socio-economic-environmental issues by bringing society and nature closer together. I’m particularly interested in projects looking to reduce the impacts of degraded ecosystems, resource scarcity, over-urbanisation & climate displacement. I prioritise working on projects which integrate local, interdisciplinary, nature-based, participatory & bio-regional approaches.

Currently working in climate resilience. I have recently taken on freelance roles in exhibition and system design. I’m a MASc graduate of Interdisiplinary Practice at LIS, before which, I worked in Architecture & Curation. I have a BA in Architecture from the University of Westminster. 
 Work Experience:
Climate resilience consultant _ Adapt40
Head of projects _ PLATFORM EARTH
Architectural & Interior designer _ PEEK
Founder & Editor _ Totum Studio
Architectural designer _ Pozzoni
Architectural assistant _ Benevides & Associates

Alongside my professional life, I enjoy storytelling, photography, design and cycling :)

I recently organised a 2025 cycle from London to Newhaven raising £6,000+ for food banks and kitchens operating in Gaza and a 2026 cycle from Newhaven to Paris raising over £1,500 for women in Sudan. Where will I go in 2027??

RECENT WORK
Re/Placed Documentary - www.replaced.cargo.site
Co-creating a documentary alongside Eleanor Jolliffe investigating how climate change currently and is set to affect the way people live in the Andean region of South America. It looks to shed light & offer meaningful understanding of the issues around rural -> urban climate migration, over-urbanisation & post-colonialism.

Urban areas, despite only using about 2% of the earth's landmass, host the vast majority of carbon emissions, and an increasingly large proportion of the global population. Informal settlements are expanding rapidly, and they, alongside other urban areas are not built to cope with the coming climatic stresses in store.


Locations:
Cali, Colombia

Design Museum Talk
Nominated to design and present a manifesto for the ‘Manifestos for a New Generation’ event at the Design Museum. My manifesto focused on how community involvement can help adapt London to the various socio-economic-environmental changes shaping it.



MASc, Masters Thesis (Capstone)
In my final project at LIS I designed a tool to communicate the complexity of climate migration, to democratise discourse around the subject and to reduce or mitigate the effect climate change has on forced displacement. 

It does this through communicating & helping people discover and develop holistic strategies to effectively tackle the systems of and leading to forced climate displacement. For the piece I received a distinction (80%).
