After growing up in the Peak District I began my architecture education in the south-east of England at the University of Kent. After 3 fantastic years I moved back up to Manchester to continue my relationship with the award winning Ian Simpson Architects. I spent a month last summer backpacking around Europe before moving up to Newcastle to study a Masters in Architecture. Away from work I enjoy all things sport and photography.
