Biography

I am an Australian architecture student based in Melbourne, currently pursuing a Master's in Architecture and a Master's in Cultural and Urban Heritage at the University of Melbourne. I have completed parts of my studies at UC Berkley and TU Delft.

My architectural work is focused on themed architecture, exploring the potential of immersive and narrativised artificial environments. This approach involves playful theatricality spanning stylistic domains, combined with a deep understanding of geometry and traditional construction techniques, resulting in designs that are both highly symbolic and methodologically grounded. My recent focus has been on digital development, creating custom software tools and resources for architects, with a particular emphasis on human interface design.

I also maintain an art practice, having exhibited in Australia, the United States, and Europe. My works have primarily concerned the production of sculptural objects as artificial facsimiles and theatrical props, utilising technical abilities in carpentry, metalwork, sculpture, computer languages and computer-aided design, painting, and advanced colouring.
