About

As a registered Architect, I am currently in private practice leading inclusive, community focused projects internationally. My work spans across new, adaptive reuse, and conservation projects, shaped by roles in both private practice and the NSW Government Architect’s Office. My practice is guided by the belief that architecture can strengthen community identity and foster inclusion for people of all genders, abilities and cultural backgrounds.

Growing up in southwest Sydney, along a major artery that coursed with the lifeblood of a coalescence of communities, I grew to love urban spaces, with a curiosity for how the built environment could help (or hinder) fostering community connectedness. Studying architecture was a natural progression, beginning with an architecture degree (with Honours) at the University of New South Wales. I then strengthened this with a Masters in Heritage Conservation at the University of Sydney.

Alongside practice, I am an active researcher and contributor to the architectural profession. I was awarded a Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarship by the NSW Architects Registration Board to research Re-Imagining Mosques: The Intersection of Inclusive Architecture and Urban Design, and I am a 2026 Summer Fellow in Architecture at the State Library of NSW, researching Neon Signage and the Public Realm.
