Why I wanted to join the team?

I love working with people and I am passionate about creating projects, connections, and learning from people's experiences. I am a designer that flourishes when working across many disciplines. Empowering individuals and communities is a key value translated throughout my work and therefore my practice is centred around developing co-design methods. I have always ensured that creative collaboration and a human-centered process is at the core of my designs. This means that the collaboration leads to different outcomes. However, what is consistent is that my work reflects the community that I am working with. 

A little bit about my background

Since graduating with my BA in Design from Goldsmiths, I have sought out opportunities in community engagement projects, working on projects to design creative workshops to engage young people with their built environments. I have dabbled in architecture, graphics, and communications, I am also a volunteer befriender for Shoreditch Trust where I work closely with isolated members of the Hackney community.
