About Me
Introduction
I am an architectural technician or RIBA Part I architectural assistant with a CIAT accredited degree, who is progressively looking to begin a career with an exciting architectural practice. I like to design things and enjoy working in project work. You can view a synopsis of my work and professional experience under the tabs above. I have recent experience working as an AutoCAD/Revit technician producing detail design in large commercial projects.
I have developed a greater insight in architecture beyond my studies through an active interest being involved in architectural projects, design workshops, seminars and evolving issues. Recently i attended a taskforce group workshop on "Can the Welsh Government help you to build the right homes in Wales". This highlighted in discussions to me the many challenges SMEs developers face towards achieving the government target for delivering affordable homes. This keeps me in touch and informed of current issues in architecture while utilizing my strong organisational and peoples skills.
