About

A First Class Honours Ba(Hons) Architecture Graduate looking to further develop my career at the end of my current placement, where I can learn a range of new skills and experiences with a large globally known organisation, that offers a wide variety of projects and different scale of complexities.

Currently I am doing a placement year for a distinguished and innovative Wiltshire based architecture firm called Michael Lyons Architecture, which specialises in detailed design across all 7 stages of RIBA. I have currently worked on a variety of projects, including restorations, residential new builds, and large stately manor houses for UHNWI client’s, along with various other projects on their estates. I have attended site visits, contract meetings and design consultations to help clients bring their dreams to fruition through planning and development. I work in a team, producing detailed working drawings for contractors on site. 

My early experience in the construction industry was through a Bench Joinery Apprenticeship, I was able to work on such projects as Hilton Heathrow Terminal 4 and HMS Queen Elizabeth, seeing them from design through to installation.

I also have experience with using CAD to design and sell kitchens and bathrooms at B&Q, giving me experience in sales, finance, and customer services. In this role I was responsible for client meetings, designing and ordering parts, and then communicating with the fitters on site.

At University, 3 other students and I formed a society called ‘BH Future Architects’ where we have run events alongside RIBA Dorset to meet and discuss projects with fully qualified architects. In class I have explored projects such as Sensorium's, Modern Bathhouses, using Urban Voids, Modular Housing and now designing a University Campus as my final project.
