About me

I am a recent architecture graduate, freelance writer and postgraduate researcher. I employ a variety of written, visual, and curatorial approaches, drawing on skills developed from my architectural studies at The University of Edinburgh and editorial experiences at Crumble and FRAME. As part of my MScR in Cultural Studies at the same institution, I am currently conducting research on the memory of human displacement and rubble flows in postwar Rotterdam.
