When I left school I had no idea what to do, so I studied fine arts and curation and spent some time in Prague, before enrolling in architecture. For me, my real career drive came when I became a working mum of three. They really became my motivation to work hard and make something of my life. Today, I believe the multitude of skills you learn in this profession transcend sectors. I am very much a driver of the process of architecture, but in the end it’s design that is the end product; the meaning behind everything we do.
