Registered Architect, NSW — based in Sydney

01About

Registered Architect based in Sydney with almost a decade of experience across residential, health, education and emergency-services projects.

Career began in 2017 at DJRD Architects as an Architectural Technician, documenting major public infrastructure including the Griffith Base Hospital redevelopment, NSW Ambulance stations, and school masterplans for Schools Infrastructure Australia. Moved to BKH in 2021 as a Graduate Architect, running the full design and documentation cycle — concept through to completion — on a mix of Class 1 residential new builds, renovations, and Class 2 apartment refurbishments, including direct client, strata and body corporate management. Registered as an Architect with the NSW Architects Registration Board in July 2026, and returned to DJRD the same year as a Registered Architect, now running projects such as the Wyong Key Worker Accommodation development and further ambulance station infrastructure from design through to construction.

Across both firms, work has consistently spanned the full project lifecycle — concept design, DD documentation, approvals, tender, and construction — with hands-on experience in Revit, AutoCAD, Rhinoceros and Grasshopper, and close collaboration with clients, consultants and stakeholders at every stage.
