Design is an incredibly powerful force, which can bring meaning, value, beauty and joy to our lives. Everything has been designed - good design doesn`t happen by accident. Whether it is a spoon, a piece of furniture or an entire masterplan - there is an iterative, problem-solving process which all architects and designers journey through before life-changing beautiful designs are realised.

I encourage my students to explore, play and learn to communicate with the language of design - ask questions, think outside of the box and push boundaries to make our world a more innovative, exciting and inspiring place to be!

I can guide students throughout the whole design process, and help with any topics you may want to explore. I will tailor classes based on your individual needs.

My class style has been described as encouraging, empowering and inspiring and I like my students to feel supported and confident in a friendly environment.

Areas I can cover:

- Software tips and tricks

- History and Philosophy

- Design thinking and problem solving
(I have won the Royal Society of the Arts Design Award, and have 10 years of experience in practice)

- Model making, visual communication and representation

- Any form of writing
(I have won the Architects Journal Writing Prize, The Berkeley Prize and the Benjamin Franklin Literary Prize for my writing, as well as been commissioned by architectural journals for articles on innovation. My writing has been widely published in the architectural press such as Building Design and Archdaily, and also translated into other languages)

- CV`s, Portfolios, General Advice!

I tutor all ages and levels. I look forward to meeting you! :)
