After completing my RIBA Part I degree I took a year to travel around several continents to better understand architecture across the world.

​

I returned to the UK to complete my RIBA Part II Masters degree at Nottingham Trent University. Following this I volunteered part time at the University to promote sustainability and to encourage women in architecture in a hope to create more diversity in a male dominated career.

Alongside this, I began work at a mid-size practice with a focus on vernacular architecture and sustainability.

​

I took these skills I learnt at the company and, with the combined efforts of the rest of the partners that I met at university, started Atelier Regolith.
