About Nicholas
UK & US licensed architect with 15+ years of international experience across leading studios including Zaha Hadid Architects and KPF London. I currently operate at senior level delivering complex, design-led projects globally.
Alongside practice, I’ve mentored 1,000+ students and emerging professionals, and taught at institutions including The Bartlett (UCL) and the Architectural Association (AA).
I bridge practice and education to develop high-performance architects.
What I help with:
- Top-tier architecture portfolios (Harvard, MIT, UCL, AA, and leading schools)
- Advanced design thinking and critique
- Translating concepts into buildable, rigorous architecture
- Career progression in leading global practices
- Interview, application, and personal statement strategy
For students: focused guidance to secure places at elite institutions.
For professionals: strategic mentorship to accelerate design leadership and career trajectory.
My approach is direct, tailored, and outcome-driven—designed to position you at the highest level in architecture.

I offer bespoke architectural mentorship for university students and young professionals seeking to advance their design thinking, refine their skillset, elevate their portfolio, and strategically position themselves for academic and professional success.
Each session is a focused, high-level engagement—designed to sharpen your thinking, strengthen your design approach, and align your work with the expectations of leading institutions and global architectural practices.
Sessions are rigorous, highly tailored, and outcome-driven, delivering clarity, precision, and measurable progress. You will leave each session with a defined direction, actionable next steps, and a stronger position within your academic or professional trajectory.
While each programme is fully tailored to individual needs, the following areas illustrate the scope of support:
1. Portfolio Review
Comprehensive review of your design work and portfolio, with guidance on narrative, presentation, and graphic clarity. Advice is tailored to your objective—whether for university applications or professional opportunities.
2. CV, Personal Statement & Career Strategy
Refinement of CVs and personal statements, alongside strategic guidance on career direction, skill development, and university selection.
3. Interview Preparation
Structured mock interviews with detailed, professional feedback to improve confidence, clarity of communication, and overall performance.
4. Portfolio Development
Support in refining existing projects or developing new work with a clear architectural agenda, aligned with your target institutions or career goals.
5. Design & Representation Skills
Targeted guidance on drawing, presentation, and digital tools. Where required, structured technical sessions can be provided to build proficiency.
6. Professional Skillset & Workflow
Mentorship on real-world architectural workflows, project thinking, and professional standards—helping you improve efficiency, performance, and readiness for practice.
