Profile
Ahead of founding Studio Arkay, I worked on various residential, mixed-use and office schemes in award-winning London Architecture firms, including Studio PDP & Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) Architects. Prior to that, I studied at Leicester, Liverpool & Westminster Schools of Architecture respectively.
My master’s dissertation, exploring Yerevan’s urban development, won several awards, most notably the prestigious RIBA President’s Medal, in 2016. I have been a member of the RIBA 'Education Development Group' since 2018, focussing on assessment of grants & recognition - such as the Student Support Fund, AHR Scholarship & Annie Spink Award.
I am an architecture design tutor at Loughborough University, and have been a visiting guest critic at the University of Liverpool.
I am a WELL Accredited Professional (IWBI) and an Ambassador for the Architects Benevolent Society.
