Chartered RIBA Architect (ARB) and Urban Planner, Entrepreneur, PLACE NI Board member. 

I have over 10 years working experience in architectural and planning industry on the island of Ireland. My expertise is regeneration of post-industrial areas and stakeholder liaison. I am a versatile and experienced Chartered Architect with an extensive background and portfolio across the commercial, public and private sectors. I am accomplished in working with multiple international stakeholders. 

To date I have held a range of professional positions and this has provided me with a breadth of career experiences. I was instrumental in the planning and project management of a major investment scheme in Poland. Prior I was a CEO of an international organisation and worked in a tender department of a successful Irish construction firm. I have gained knowledge across a range of business segments and I am well positioned to undertake multi-functional roles.

As a result of this diverse background I was recently appointed as a Part Time Lecturer at School of Planning, Architecture and Civil Engineering, Institute of Spatial and Environmental Planning at the Queen's University Belfast. I deliver lectures on the following subjects:


Economy & Space, Spatial Planning, Property Development & Business Planning, European Planning Perspectives, Urban Planning, Regeneration, Planning Systems in NI, ROI and Central Europe, Place- making, Sustainable Communities, Regional Competitiveness, Sustainable Development.

Architecture, urbanism, sociology, philosophy, neuroscience, cinematic urbanism, relexivity

I am an architect and cultural geographer, having graduated with a B.Arch. first class honours from the School of Architecture, University College Dublin in 2000 and a PhD from the Department of Geography, University College Cork in 2008. I practised as an architect with Grafton Architects in Dublin for two years and was editor of building material, the journal of the Architectural Association of Ireland, for another two years. From 2002 to 2004 I was a part-time tutor in Geography at UCC, and from 2004 to 2006 was a part-time tutor in Architecture at UCD. Since 2007 I am a full-time Lecturer (below the bar) in Architecture at SAUL where I follow particular interests in landscape, writing, drawing and photography through my teaching and research. A monograph emerging from my PhD research, Where Land Meets Sea: coastal explorations of landscape, representation and spatial experience, was published by Ashgate in 2012.

My research follows interests in landscape, the coast, and modes of writing. I am developing work on a number of research projects: the practice of architecture writing / spatial writing, through the writing of narrative fiction and creative non-fiction in specific physical contexts; an exploration of the writing of landscape in particular contemporary Irish literature; a multi-disciplinary exploration into twentieth-century representations of landscape and Irishness; and a visual and textual study of the Irish seaside resort through contemporary student photography paralleled with eighteenth to twentieth century travel writing and nascent tourist literature.

Architectural heritage; public participation; building conservation; urban design

I am an artist, architect and educator based in Dublin. My inter-disciplinary practice investigates real and virtual space, the urban condition and the potential of unrealised ideas. I hold a first class honours degree in Visual Arts Practice (IADT, 2010) and a degree in Architecture (UCD and Arkitektskolen Aarhus, Denmark, 1995). I set up TransColonia, a recycled space initiative in March 2010. TransColonia is part of a growing international trend to re-purpose vacant commercial space for creative use. This project has been awarded a DLR Co.Council Arts Grant and was a winning entry in the Royal Institute of Architects Ireland 3Twenty10 research competition. I am a member of Visual Artists Ireland, the Architectural Association of Ireland and Dublin City Council Artists Panel.
