  1. What made you interested in working in the Built Environment?

Technical drawing was the first subject in school I truly enjoyed so the built environment felt like a natural fit. I was also drawn to the very tangible nature of the industry. There is no other profession where you can so literally contribute to shaping the world around us

 

  1. Why did you join the Built Environment Change Makers?

Pretty self evident but I want to contribute to affecting positive change. I also joined with the hopes of continuing my own development and hopefully meeting new people with different perspectives and having enjoyable experiences along the way. 

 

  1. What are your top 3 knowledge areas that you are bringing to the Built Environment Change Makers?
  • Digital Design - I have a keen interest for all things digital and even do some programming from time to time. In the last two years I’ve worked on lots of projects with a heavy digital aspect to them. This has given me a lot of knowledge and skills in fields such as BIM, architectural visualisation and sensor networks for digital twins. 
  • Education -  I’m very passionate about education and have lots of experience teaching in different forms almost continuously since I was 17. At university I spent a lot of time tutoring earlier year students and learning that there is a big difference between having the knowledge and knowing how to teach it in a way that connects with the individual.    
  • Innovative products and processes - I have gained lots of experience with off-site manufacturing, MMC, mass timber, natural insulation products and other innovative products in the UK market. This has given me a good knowledge of current innovative practice and an appreciation for the challenges often encountered when trying to introduce change.

 

  1. What are you hoping to achieve?

I’m primarily hoping to contribute positively to education within the built environment. Specifically I’m interested in using my skills in digital design to explore new techniques in teaching important topics within the built environment such as building physics and
