I’m interested in finding thoughtful, sustainable ways to bring new life to historic buildings, combining conservation principles with retrofit design.

I joined James Mackintosh Architects after completing my Part 1 studies at Oxford Brookes University in 2023, and I’m currently studying for my Part 2 at UWE Bristol. Working within a conservation-focused practice has strengthened my understanding of traditional building techniques, materials, and detailing, and reinforced the importance of designing with care for both heritage and sustainability.

My interest in conservation developed during my third year, when a design project highlighted the value of working sensitively with historic fabric and cultural context.

I support the team through the use of AI as a creative design tool for exploring change in historic buildings, and I lead on sustainability objectives. I have recently completed the Retrofit Course for Traditional Buildings, achieving the Level 3 Award qualification required by PAS 2035.
