ARCHT. Designer, Illustrator & Artist

“I began my journey by studying Architecture at my university and finding that I liked to express my designs through hand drawing rather than using AutoCAD and other software programs. I always found that illustration and hand drawing supported my presentations and engaged the viewer for longer, which was exciting! At the beginning of 2020, I was moving to New York to continue my journey as an architect, but that’s when the pandemic hit. I was left unemployed and living with my parents in Scotland aged 25. This is when I decided to start my art business via my website and Instagram, sharing my paintings and drawings with everyone online. Eventually, it led me to earn a living through my art. I wanted to move to London to pursue my career further. I became an architectural illustrator at Foster + Partners and then onto a bid manager at Heatherwick Studio.”
