Interior Architecture, 2021
I have always had a passion for design and creativity, first taking a class in Architecture in grade 11, and pursuing the passion later within university as I complete by bachelors’ in interior architecture and architecture.
Over the course of my education, I have learnt to formulate, refine and represent my ideas through the use of CAD, Revit and Adobe applications and am always looking for ways to better my skills and progress my knowledge.
I am fascinated by the influence and impact design can have on people and place and love designing spaces that push my creativity and skills, serve the wellbeing of the end user and maintain a standard of sustainability. I understand the responsibility of a designer within our society and culture and hope to create a positive impact for our communities and built environment throughout my career.
Selected Portfolio
Children’s s Library Design
The NCACL commissioned us as University students to design a playful, unconventional and engaging space to exhibit children's books and their associated artefacts and memorabilia. I designed a maze-like scavenger hunt for children to participate, read and view literature. This project really highlighted the importance of researching the demographic (children) of the end user and creating bespoke design based on their specific needs in response to your findings.
FAD HUB - Education Design
This project required us to completely re-design the old workshop 7 at the University of Canberra. This education project required new office spaces, classrooms, meeting rooms and hot desking areas for staff and students. This design provided me with a sense of the true design process, collecting and collating finishes, collaborating with the client and creating a design that is practical for a budget, up to code and responsive to end user needs.
Canberra Bus Shelter Competition
The brief required us to parametrically design a bus stop for the Canberra Centre using both digital and physical construction techniques. Rebekah Abraham and myself collaborated on this project and were featured in the Canberra Centre exhibition. This design process prompted us to engage and further our skills in workflows between digital and physical production techniques, giving us the opportunity to physically model our design through robotic and 3D printing methods.
