-What Sets Me Apart as an Instructor: My international experience offers a broad perspective on design trends. I emphasize creativity while providing a solid foundation and a supportive, yet rigorous teaching style.

Are you studying Interior Design, Interior Architecture or Architecture and feeling stuck with your project, concept or portfolio? Sometimes you don’t need someone to give you the answer — you need another designer to look at your work, ask the right questions and help you discover where it could go next.

I am a practising Interior Designer with a RIBA Part 2 architectural background and previous university-level teaching experience. My tutorials combine academic design thinking with experience gained from working within leading UK architecture and interior design practices.

My sessions are tailored around you and your project. We can work together on concept development, spatial planning, design thinking, portfolio layouts, graphic communication, technical drawings, materials and finishes, sustainability, Revit, AutoCAD, InDesign and Photoshop.

I am particularly passionate about creative thinking, graphics and portfolio storytelling. I love helping students take complicated ideas and communicate them through clear, beautiful drawings, diagrams and layouts.

I am also very interested in sustainability, materiality and the relationship between buildings and people. I encourage students to think beyond how a space looks and consider why materials are selected, how they perform, how people experience the space and how design decisions affect the environment.

You can bring a project at any stage, from an early idea or university brief to a nearly completed portfolio. We can review it together, identify what is working, explore what could be improved and develop a clear direction for your next steps.

I won’t design your project for you. My aim is to help you become a stronger and more confident designer by developing your own ideas, challenging your thinking and helping you understand the reasoning behind your design decisions.

Sessions can also focus specifically on portfolio reviews, university applications, design crit preparation, Revit/AutoCAD guidance or graphic presentation.

I offer personalized online 1:1 tutoring for anyone who wants to create a strong, original and professionally presented architecture portfolio.

For high school students applying to architecture school, I guide the complete development of an admission portfolio—from discovering personal interests and generating creative project ideas to observational drawing, conceptual thinking, experimentation, model-making and final page design. No previous architectural experience is required. Together, we build a portfolio that demonstrates curiosity, imagination, creative potential and an authentic personal voice.

For architecture students applying to a Master’s degree, the tutoring focuses on presenting a higher level of intellectual and creative thinking. We develop a clear portfolio narrative while strengthening research, analysis, conceptual development, transdisciplinary connections, architectural experimentation and visual communication. The portfolio is carefully adapted to the character and expectations of the selected universities.

For graduates and professionals seeking architectural employment, I help create a focused professional portfolio that can attract the attention of leading architecture firms. We select and improve the strongest projects, clarify your individual and team contributions, and present your technical abilities through plans, sections, construction details, diagrams, models and visualizations. We also work on personal branding, graphic consistency, storytelling and the immediate visual impact of the portfolio, helping you communicate your value quickly and improve your chances of securing an interview and being hired.

Every student receives a completely individual process based on their goals, experience, application deadlines and target universities or architecture offices. You may begin with no portfolio, bring an unfinished one, or ask for a professional review and improvement of an existing portfolio.

I am an architect, artist, author, former Head of an Architecture Department and international lecturer with more than 25 years of experience in architecture, design, creative education and portfolio development. My role is not to impose a generic style, but to help you discover what makes your work unique and transform it into a clear, memorable and convincing portfolio.
