Architect• BA(Hons) DipArch ARB MSAI

Originally from a small village in Sussex, I trained as an architect in both Brighton and Edinburgh before working in London. Over time, my practice has evolved to sit between architecture and drawing, allowing me to explore the built environment through a more contemplative and expressive lens.

My work focuses on the character and quiet authority of buildings, explored through freehand pen and ink combined with carefully applied digital colour and shadow. I am particularly drawn to historic, modernist, and civic architecture—structures shaped by time, use, and intention. Through a process that blends traditional draftsmanship with contemporary digital techniques, I seek to capture the rhythm, proportion, and presence of these spaces, allowing the architecture itself to take centre stage.

Each drawing begins as a hand-drawn study, built through careful observation and controlled freehand line work. The process emphasises structure, repetition, and architectural order, allowing the character of each building to emerge through its geometry rather than narrative. Digital techniques are then used selectively, to introduce colour and shadow to enhance form, depth, and spatial clarity while maintaining the integrity of the original drawing.

I am particularly drawn to structures that combine clarity of form with a sense of permanence—buildings that feel both functional and quietly monumental. By limiting colour and maintaining a restrained tonal palette, the work avoids spectacle in favour of quiet presence. Human figures are intentionally absent, allowing the buildings to exist as autonomous forms—spaces shaped by human use yet momentarily stilled.

I live in a 1930s modernist apartment block in South London, an environment that continues to inform my appreciation of design, materiality, and modernist detail.

I am a member of the Society of Architectural Illustrators, the world’s oldest and most prestigious organisation dedicated to architectural drawing.
