As both a Chartered Structural Engineer and a Chartered Computational Designer, I’m passionate about tackling complexity and shaping a sustainable future through intelligent, integrated design.

At Arup, I specialise in using parametric and computational methods to solve challenging problems and unlock new potential in structural and architectural design. I thrive in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams where we push boundaries—digitally and physically—to achieve elegant, comfortable, efficient, and human-focused solutions.
