About Leiden
I am a designer with a background in landscape architecture and architecture, bringing over four years of experience in creating user-centered spaces. My work has spanned residential, public, and urban environments, where I’ve focused on designing functional, aesthetic, and sustainable spaces that enhance people’s experiences. My approach to design is deeply rooted in research, problem-solving, and storytelling. Whether shaping physical spaces or transitioning into digital experiences, I always prioritize how people interact with their environment. Through my experience, I’ve developed strong skills in concept development, spatial planning, visual communication, and presentation techniques, which allow me to translate ideas into compelling and practical designs. I hold a Master of Architecture (Professional) with First Class Honors from the University of Auckland, a Bachelor of Architectural Studies from Unitec, where I was recognized as a Highly Commended Year 3 Student, and a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Lincoln University. With a keen eye for both form and function, I thrive on crafting thoughtful solutions that merge creativity with real-world usability. My experience working with multidisciplinary teams and diverse projects has given me a strong foundation in collaboration, technical execution, and effective design communication.
