“I am amazed by the incredible breadth of knowledge architects acquire to meet their design responsibilities.”

I joined Watson Batty in September 2024.

I am a part 3 architectural assistant, on target to qualify having had responsibility for schemes from feasibility through to technical design and construction. My projects in the commercial and industrial sectors require extensive technical coordination and good relationships with clients, so I have learned to balance essential communication with figuring things out independently. I also help with office IT and provide ad hoc graphics assistance to other sectors.

I adore hand-drawing and graphics, having designed my own comic strips and Top Trumps cards as a child. Architecture offers me the perfect blend of creativity and usefulness.

I like to find the most practical way to complete every challenge. Compiling our design information into one ‘end goal’ document is very satisfying and helps us assess how projects impact the real world. Beautiful, sustainably designed buildings have positive effects on people and places.
