Profile

  • I’m an Architectural Assistant at Child Graddon Lewis with 5+ years of international experience across Hong Kong, New York, and London. In the UK, my work spans affordable housing, Grade II listed extensions, government buildings, a commercial fit-out in Devonshire Square, and residential refurbishments, along with masterplanning bids in Sutton and Shoreditch.

  • I’m interested in how spaces shape communities and enrich lives—a perspective rooted in craft, culture, and collaboration. My journey began with building a cello, revealing the connection between form and resonance, and deepened through an internship in Tibet, where I developed a lasting curiosity about identity and place. This mindset shaped my leadership at the Royal College of Art, where I served as student representative and led Inside/Out, the school’s only student-run lecture series.

  • I’m currently working toward professional licensure via the ARB/NCARB Mutual Recognition Agreement, a goal I’ve committed to as part of my long-term development within UK practice.

  • Beyond architecture, I explore the built environment through illustration, writing, and the occasional Muay Thai session or cycle around London. I'm always open to meaningful connections—feel free to get in touch.
