Summary

An aspiring architect with a passion for design currently pursuing my Masters in Architectural Design. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Architectural Design, which has laid a strong foundation for my creative and technical skills.

With one and a half years of experience as a Project Coordinator at Urban Pty Ltd in Melbourne, I have had the privilege of working alongside a diverse team on numerous development ventures. This invaluable experience has allowed me to refine my organisational and leadership skills while honing my ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with clients, consultants, and stakeholders.

In 2022, I was a part of a design team that received the prestigious Good Design Australia Best in Class Award for Architectural Design in the category of Installation Design. This accolade reaffirms my ability to conceptualise and execute innovative and captivating architectural projects.

While my expertise lies in architectural design, I firmly believe that the skills I have acquired throughout my journey are transferable and applicable beyond the realm of architecture. My commitment to detail, creativity, and problem-solving, combined with my strong project management capabilities, enable me to thrive in dynamic environments across various industries.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills in new and exciting domains. I am confident that my passion for design, coupled with my multidisciplinary skill set, will make me a valuable asset to any team or organisation.
