Computational designer, based in London.

Holds a Bachelors and Masters degree in Architecture, both from the University of Bath. Master’s thesis analysed the architectural implications of digital modelling and computer-aided manufacturing techniques.

Previously worked for Thomas Heatherwick Studio, RoboFold, Atmos, and other companies with a focus on complex geometry and computationally-controlled design, optimisation & fabrication processes. Particular experience in parametric design & scripting (C# · GH · Python), computational fluid dynamics interfaces, freeform surface modelling, robotic fabrication and form-finding through physics simulation.

Has run workshops and given lectures at academic institutions such as The University of Westminster, The Royal College of Art, The Bartlett and The University of Bath.

Currently an Associate at the London engineering firm AKT II – working within their Parametric Applied Research Team (P.art).
