About me

During my first year at university I have learned may skills, such as how to draw technical drawing and how to use auto CAD. These are skills that I did not have before attending UCLAN and these are what I will take away with me once I leave, as well as a new sense of persistence and a clear direction of where I want to be.

During this first year I have completed a number of projects such as the first project was to design an off grid retreat which was by far the most difficult as is always the first project you start with, the second was to design a gallery based in Preston which included producing site drawings as well as regular site visits. The final and by far my most favourite project was to design a Nursery school this was my favourite as it allowed me to be more creative with the design of the building.
