About me

From a young age I was constantly creating, and could often be found surrounded by pencils, Lego, and clay, detailing elaborate spacecraft or molding unidentified creatures. Pursuing my creative inclinations, I started studying architecture in 2012 at the University of Cape Town, completing my Masters of Architecture in 2017.

After several years of professional architectural practice, I stepped into product design and UX, and was instantly hooked. I discovered a discipline that is even more relentlessly human-centred than architecture had been, one that feeds directly on psychology, rapid user feedback, and uncovering needs people didn’t know they had. The pace is faster, the problems feel fresher, and the potential reach is enormous.

I began studying product design part-time in 2022 while still practising architecture, and now I deliberately work across both fields. What I’ve learned in digital products now flows straight back into my buildings: deeper empathy, sharper observation of behaviour, faster iteration, and an intolerance for anything that doesn’t truly serve the people who will live or work there.

I move constantly between physical and digital scales, always zooming out to the big picture, then back in to every last detail, making sure the feeling and the frame are in perfect harmony.

I look forward to keeping both practices alive and growing. I hope I get to design something for you, and maybe even with you, one day.
