Biography:

I am an architect and social researcher specialising in urban childhoods and youth wellbeing. My research explores children’s and young people’s everyday experiences, needs, and interactions in urban settings. Focusing on youth well-being, my work addresses issues of accessibility, belonging, safety, and the quality of the built environment. Using creative and participatory methods, I facilitate co-creation processes between young people and adults to inform my research.
