Friendly, practical advice from someone who has completed both a Bachelor's and a Master's in Architecture. I can help with:

- Organisation and time management during your studies
- Portfolio layouts and proofreading, so your writing sounds more professional
- Design support and a second opinion from someone who isn't your tutor
- Exploring whether to study Architecture at university
- CV and cover letter writing for placements

Architecture is a demanding degree, and university tutors can be harsh. Sometimes it helps to talk through your designs or workload with someone who was in your shoes more recently. My feedback is honest but constructive, and I will always treat your work with trust and confidentiality. I believe everyone is capable of great work, but sometimes you just need a push to get going.

How lessons work: Lessons take place online and are relaxed and tailored to you. We start by discussing what you're working on, then review your work together, whether that's a portfolio layout, a design project or a piece of writing. It's a safe space to rant about crazy workloads and the constant turmoil of studying Architecture. You'll leave with clear, actionable next steps.

About me: I graduated with Distinction from my Master's at the University of Westminster, achieving Firsts in all modules (Design Studio, Technical Studies, Strategic Report and Dissertation). I previously graduated from the University of Bath in 2024 with a Bachelor's (2:1 hons), which included two six-month RIBA Part I placements. Alongside my Master's, I was granted £6,000 by the University of Westminster for a project tackling textile waste in the fast-fashion industry. My final-year work specialised in rammed earth and material testing, reflecting a strong interest in material reuse, and I gained 86% for my Technical Studies module. I have an excellent reputation for meeting deadlines (submitting a few days, often a week, early) and for motivating those around me to push themselves further. I've used the following software: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Lumion, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and a bit of Revit.
