About Me

In my final year of PhD research, focusing on the possibilities of developing community-based housing solutions for the ageing population.

Employing adaptive reuse, powered by the methodology of shape grammars for achieving a system for mass customisation.

​

I am curious and inquisitive, analytically oriented and have plenty of self-initiative. I have strong people skills and enjoy both working in groups, instructing students and communicating with clients and other experts.
