Our people

Currently, I teach 2nd and 3rd year design studio for the BA Interior Architecture Course; I joined the course in 2010 as a 2nd year design tutor and am proud to have been a part of its success over the years.  I also teach Digital Representation for the Master of Architecture Course.   Prior to joining University of Westminster in 2010 to teach in the new Interior Architecture Degree, I was part of the founding faculty team at the new School of Architecture at Marywood University in Pennsylvania.  I have taught design students in a range of concentrations and academic levels, including studio courses at several universities in the US, including Virginia Tech and the New York Institute of Technology.
