If you weren’t an architect, what would you be?
I would be restoring historic buildings. I’m passionate about transforming spaces, taking them from ruin to reimagined glory. My family bought and renovated properties throughout my childhood, which ignited my passion for building.
Who is your biggest career influence?
Professor Colin Stansfield Smith. He was one of my professors at the University of Portsmouth and set up the groundbreaking Hampshire schools programme, which positively impacted educational buildings. His passion for architecture continues to inspire me to help others find their passion as well.
Best book you’ve read?
‘Walden’ by Henry David Thoreau. I revisit it at different points in my life, always gaining new insights. The idea of stripping life back to its core elements is a powerful message.
What is the greatest invention ever?
Music. It’s a universal language that brings people together, no matter their tastes. Personally, I enjoy rock, but I appreciate how diverse and integral music is to human culture.
