ABOUT 

I am an architectural researcher and registered architect developing transferable frameworks for designing and fabricating with living materials. My work connects biological behaviour, parametric design logic, and material performance into replicable methodologies for sustainable construction, moving between conceptual theory and hands-on practice.
​
My research focuses on: how biological systems can be understood as parametric design media. This work draws on material experimentation, computational design, and digital fabrication, grounded in a PhD investigating fungal growth as a designable process at Newcastle University's Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment.
​
I am the founder of Mycology for Architecture, an international network advancing design-led research at the intersection of biotechnology and the built environment, and editor of Mycology for Architecture: Methods and Applications of Mycelium Materials (Pelagic Publishing, 2026). I am currently a Senior Research Associate at Northumbria University's Living Construction Group.
