I started my architectural practice to create thoughtful, well-crafted buildings that respond carefully to people, place and purpose. After working across a range of practices in Ireland, Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom, I wanted the freedom to take a more considered, design-led approach to each project — one that prioritises sustainability, clarity of space and long-term value over volume or repetition.

With a background in Sustainable Design, the practice is founded on the belief that good architecture should be environmentally responsible, contextually sensitive and genuinely improve how people live and work. Establishing my own studio allows me to work closely with clients, remain directly involved throughout the design process, and ensure that each project is shaped by its site, brief and materiality rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

I studied architecture at the University of Liverpool and Waterford Institute of Technology, before completing my studies at London Metropolitan University in 2022. Alongside my architectural qualifications, I also hold a Master’s degree in Sustainable Design, which continues to inform a thoughtful and considered approach to every project.

I have worked across a number of architectural practices in Ireland, Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom, gaining experience on a wide range of projects. My portfolio includes small-scale residential schemes and interior design, as well as large refurbishments and new-build commercial developments.
