    I joined BTP Architects straight from University in mid-2023 as an Architectural Technician. Since then, I’ve developed my skills in Revit, project management and technical design, alongside a growing understanding of Building Regulations and industry guidance.

    Having been thrust into many different projects, I’ve gained wide sector experience including large-scale retrofit, social housing and accommodation for people experiencing homelessness, refurbishment and luxury new-build homes. This experience has sparked a particular interest in site planning.

    Outside work, I enjoy playing padel with colleagues, football and the occasional attempt at golf. I’m also a Liverpool FC supporter and like to unwind playing video games.

    I have recently joined BTP as a Part II Architectural Assistant. I graduated with a Master’s in Architecture from the University of Salford in 2023 and have since gained two years of professional experience in practice.

    My experience spans RIBA Stages 2–5, working across a range of sectors including PBSA, residential, cladding remediation, self-storage, and refurbishment projects. I have contributed to Gateway Two submissions and developed a strong understanding of the Building Safety Act framework, particularly in relation to cladding remediation schemes.

    I have an interest in heritage conservation and regeneration projects and look forward to expanding my experience in these areas at BTP. I look forward to being a part of the BTP team and intend to begin my Part 3 qualifications this year as I work towards becoming a registered architect.

    Outside of architecture, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, painting, hiking, and travelling - exploring different cultures and cuisines.

    I joined BTP in April 2026, bringing five years of professional experience delivering luxury private homes and large-scale high-rise residential developments across all RIBA stages.

    Prior to joining BTP, I contributed to a range of residential projects from concept design through to construction, including planning approval, coordination and supporting Building Safety Regulator submissions.

    I enjoy combining creative design with technical problem solving to create thoughtful buildings that respond to their surroundings. At BTP, I’m keen to contribute to sustainable, well-designed housing while developing my experience in refurbishment, retrofit and projects.

    Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, painting, rock climbing and spending time with family and friends.
Process

Every project follows a clear process, but we adapt how we work to the complexity of each brief and the needs of the community.

  • Discovery & Briefing

    Every good project starts with listening. We get to know your goals, your site and the people who'll use the space, so the brief reflects what really matters from day one.

  • Concept Design

    This is where ideas take shape. We explore a range of directions, share early thinking openly and work with you to land on a concept that feels right.

  • Detailed Design

    Once the direction is set, we refine every detail. Drawings, materials and specifications come together into a clear, considered design that's ready to take forward.

  • Planning & Approval

    We guide each project through the approvals it needs, working closely with the right partners and authorities to keep things moving and avoid surprises.

  • Construction

    With everything in place, work begins on site. We stay close throughout, keeping quality high and communication clear so you always know where things stand.

  • Completion & Handover

    We finish properly. From final inspections to post-completion support, we stay involved to ensure a smooth handover and make sure everything is delivered as intended.
