Bio

Bridging the gap between research and practice over the past 6+ years, I have been involved with projects across multiple design stages and sectors, including Workplace, Aviation, Civic, and Education. Working both as a designer and as part of a research team has given me the opportunity to directly translate research insights into actionable strategies and guidelines implemented in the context of evidence-based design.

This experience ranges across design for wellbeing, statistical data analysis and reporting, simulation, stakeholder engagement, pre/post-occupancy evaluation, research design, and management of original studies utilising quantitative and mixed-method approaches. Recent projects include the design and construction of post-pandemic offices, an original study which utilises virtual simulation to understand task-based spatial preferences in the workplace in relation to personality, working with academic partners to inform workplace design frameworks, and developing a toolkit for engaging Mainstream and SEND school students into the process of POE.

As the contemporary practice of architecture continues to face complex challenges, there is an increasing need to adopt insights and methods from various branches of science to achieve a more holistic understanding of building performance from an interdisciplinary perspective.
