About
Over the past three years, I’ve gained a strong foundation in architectural design, research, and practice. It’s been a time of growth, where I’ve been challenged to think in new ways and push my creative boundaries. I particularly valued collaborating with my peers, working together always brought fresh ideas and helped me see projects from different angles. It was through these collaborations where I learned how important communication and openness are in a project. I faced personal challenges that at times tested my confidence and determination. I learned to push through these moments and ultimately grew stronger as a designer and as a person. These experiences taught me resilience and showed me the value of staying committed to my passions, even when things felt uncertain or I questioned my own abilities. As I progressed, I became increasingly drawn to urban design and how architecture shapes the public realm. I’m particularly interested in how the spatial qualities of buildings – like light, scale, materiality, and tectonic expression – can influence and enhance people’s experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and community. Exploring these themes has deepened my appreciation for and architects role in shaping social and cultural interactions, and in creating spaces where people feel connected and inspired. Beyond graduation, I am eager to contribute to a practice that values sustainable design and community-focused projects. My goal is to continue learning while gaining practical experience in the field, refining my skills in collaboration and design. Ultimately, I aspire to become a qualified architect who can make meaningful contributions to the built environment, shaping spaces that positively impact people lives.
Project overview
The Potter Spot
This project is a ceramics café and exhibition space set in Fleetwood, a seaside town with strong ties to its maritime and industrial heritage. The idea is to create a social hub where people can come together, have a coffee, and get hands-on with clay in a relaxed, creative setting. In the workshops, visitors can make small ceramic ornaments inspired by the town’s maritime character — things like little boats, fish, or shells — which they can then take home as personal keepsakes. I was inspired by Japanese space-saving architecture, keeping the materials natural and light in colour and organised floor spacing. The building brings together making, gathering, and storytelling, using architecture to reflect Fleetwood’s identity while offering something new for the community.
