About
Having worked for fours years on the masters postgraduate course, I now teach on the BA (Hons) degree course, co-running Studio 2.3. Our studio projects are based in and around ΞΆΓάΘ¦, often collaborating with local groups such as the Community Brain. We encourage designing through making with an emphasis on natural/ sustainable materials.
I combine my teaching role with running Reed Watts Architects, co-founded in 2016 with Matt Watts. Following my training at Sheffield University I have worked at Proctor & Matthews and Haworth Tompkins, gaining particular expertise in the creative adaptation and re-use of existing buildings.
Reed Watts' current portfolio includes projects for the National Trust, the Roundhouse and the Open Air Theatre. We retain a strong interest in affordable housing, with a fascinating mix of providers, and much of our research is directed here.
I am an external examiner for the Architecture Degree course at De Montfort University.
