Personal guidance from a Chartered Architect and former University Lecturer to help you navigate architecture school, your career and what comes next.

Sometimes you don't need another tutorial.

You need someone who understands architecture education and the profession to listen, help you make sense of what's going on, and talk through your options with you.

Maybe you're struggling with architecture school. You've lost confidence after a difficult crit. You're wondering whether you've chosen the right course. You're trying to find an internship, thinking about what to do after graduation, or simply feeling overwhelmed and unsure of your next step.

You don't have to figure it all out on your own.

My 1:1 Architecture Mentoring sessions give you a private space to talk things through with someone who understands the journey you're on.

I've spent over 15 years teaching and mentoring architecture and design students, including leading university programmes and supporting students through the highs, lows and difficult decisions that come with creative education.

I've also been an architecture student myself, worked in practice and become a Chartered Architect - so I understand architecture from both sides of the desk.

Bring me what's on your mind. We'll work out what to do next.

Is This Right for You?

A mentoring session could be right for you if you're:

• Feeling overwhelmed or stuck at architecture school

• Struggling with confidence or wondering if you're good enough

• Finding it difficult to recover from a disappointing crit, grade or piece of feedback

• Unsure whether you're on the right course or taking the right path

• Trying to decide what to do next in your studies

• Thinking about changing course or university

• Looking for an architecture internship or work experience

• Preparing to move from university into practice

• Wondering whether to continue to postgraduate or Master’s study

• Trying to make decisions about your architecture career

• Feeling behind compared with other students

• Looking for perspective from someone who understands architecture education and the profession

You don't need to arrive with a perfectly formed question.

Sometimes you just know that something isn't working and you need to talk it through.

We can start there.

What Can We Talk About?

Every mentoring session is different because every student's situation is different.

We might talk about:

• Navigating architecture school

• Confidence and self-doubt

• Difficult tutor feedback or crits

• Managing your workload and priorities

• Feeling behind or overwhelmed

• University or course decisions

• Internships and work experience

• Preparing for practice

• Career direction

• Postgraduate study

• Applications and interviews

• Making the most of your time at university

• Finding your strengths as a designer

• Your next steps

My job isn't to decide for you. I'll listen, ask questions, share my experience where it's useful and help you cut through the noise so you can see your options more clearly.

Why Work With Me?

I've spent over 15 years teaching, mentoring and supporting architecture and design students.

As a former University Lecturer and programme leader, I've seen students navigate almost every stage of architecture education - from those first overwhelming weeks of first year through to graduation, postgraduate study and the transition into practice.

I've helped students who were thriving.

I've helped students who were struggling.

I've helped students who had lost confidence, were questioning their direction or simply needed someone experienced to tell them:

Let's work out what's actually going on here.

I know how intense architecture school can be, and I also know how much difference the right conversation at the right time can make.

What You'll Leave With

The aim isn't to give you another enormous list of things to worry about.

It's the opposite.

After our session, you'll have:

• Greater clarity about what's actually bothering you

• A clearer understanding of your options

• Practical next steps

• An outside perspective from someone experienced in architecture education

• Relevant advice and resources where appropriate

• More confidence in the decisions you're making

Most importantly, I want you to leave feeling:

“Okay. I know what I'm going to do next.”

How It Works

1. Book your mentoring session

Choose a time that works for you and tell me a little about what's going on.

2. Tell me what you'd like to talk about

Before we meet, you'll have an opportunity to share your questions, concerns or situation so I have some context before our call.

You don't need to prepare anything formal.

3. Meet online

We'll spend 60 minutes together talking through what's happening, exploring your options and working out practical next steps.

This is your time. There is no set agenda and no one-size-fits-all mentoring framework.

We'll focus on what you need.

4. Move forward with clarity

Where useful, I'll follow up with relevant links, resources, articles or recommendations from our conversation so you know where to go next.
