BARNSLEY TOWN CENTRE REDEVELOPMENT

ABOUT MYSELFI have always been interested in Architecture and Urban Plan-ning. Since childhood I have sought to construct buildings and cities in every medium I could get my hands on. I have designed urban regions digitally, hand drawn city maps, crafted wooden citys at home, carved out island cities of sand at the beach and built ice and snow igloos and dwellings on lawns and in forests.

I take this enthusiasm into my Architectural education and workplaces.
