About Kirstie

I am an ARB/RIBA registered architect with 8 years experience within architecture and high-end interior design. I studied at two Russell Group universities and recently worked for 4 years as a project architect at an award winning AJ 100 practice. Prior to this I worked for a variety of practices within Scotland (including the University of Edinburgh), the Netherlands and London. My career now focuses on placemaking projects within local communities and urban design.

Based on my experience I can assist through all stages of your career, from first year projects to Part 2 job applications. I have taught and mentored full-time students and architectural assistants for a number of years in my capacity as an architect and as a voluntary mentor for the Stephen Lawrence Trust and the RIBA.

ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST AND PRACTICE EXPERIENCE
Masterplanning and urban regeneration
Housing/residential design
Healthcare
Community projects
Arts & Culture
Relationship between architecture and the natural environment
How architecture influences mental and physical well-being

I enjoy developing concepts and architectural research. I am also extremely organised, pragmatic and methodical and did not face the all-nighters others often did. I can teach you this so you can manage your time effectively, ensuring you have time for friends, hobbies and importantly for yourself.

Contact me for an initial discussion and I will get back to you as soon as I can!

Whether you feel lost by the design brief, looking to improve your grade, or need help with a career change, I can offer tailored advice in a relaxed, supportive and creative environment.

After an initial conversation to identify your strengths, weaknesses and goals, we will work collaboratively to develop a list of objectives and a clear structured plan to follow.

Topics often covered include but are not limited to:

PROJECT WORK
Site analysis - what makes a site unique? What are the constraints and opportunities?
Understanding the design brief - where to begin? How to interpret and present research?
Developing a concept - how do you create an interesting concept?
Design development - how are you addressing or expanding the brief?
Visual communication - what drawings and models can effectively show your design development and final design?
Portfolio - how to communicate the story effectively
Adobe CS InDesign and Photoshop tips and tricks

OTHER MODULES
Dissertation and essay writing - proof-reading, imagery, developing an argument
Presentation skills - including verbal presentations

CAREER (including roles outside of architecture)
CV
Portfolio
Selecting an architecture practice to apply for
Time management

My teaching style is relaxed, pragmatic and logical. Before our first (free) tutorial, I like to receive existing work alongside information on the university curriculum (if you are an undergrad or post grad student) to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure our work meets their objectives.

After this, most tutorials will be run similar to discussions between a student and a tutor - you will present work/ideas/concepts followed by feedback and a discussion. Lessons will be in hourly slots (unless requested otherwise), including 10-15 minutes for any other general questions. However I understand the changing nature of architecture and will offer more/less structured sessions as and when required (for example preparing for final crits, reviewing a dissertation or practicing for an interview). My aim is to leave you feeling confident, inspired and motivated so feedback and requests to cover specific topics will always be welcomed.
