I am a Professional Architect based in East London. I am a self-motivating, hardworking professional that goes above and beyond to craft my architectural arsenal. My architectural position that I have adapted through my years of study is that design is an interdisciplinary, collective effort to respond to contemporary needs and social issues of society. I believe a great design is the result of collaborative work combined with passion, innovation and conscious values that remarkably responds to the needs of society. A C H I E V E M E N T S
