I’m a first-class graduate in Architecture from the University of Nottingham, with a strong interest in sustainable, people-centred and environmentally responsive design. My work explores the relationship between architecture, ecology and material innovation, with my final-year project, Anguilla, focusing on European eel conservation and education.
I’m particularly interested in collaborative, multidisciplinary design and developing thoughtful architectural solutions that respond to both people and place.
Anguilla is a landscape-led environmental project that reimagines conservation as a public experience. Responding to the critical decline of the European eel, the proposal explores how architecture can become a mediator between ecological recovery and human engagement. Through research, education and community interaction, the project reveals the hidden complexities of the river system while creating spaces for restoration, reflection and learning. Informed by the eel's extraordinary lifecycle and the barriers that threaten its migration, Anguilla operates as ecological infrastructure; reconnecting habitats, communities and waterways through a shared vision for a more resilient future.
