About

Hi! My name is Stela and thanks for visiting my website.

I am a part III architect and ARB accredited, working as an urban designer in London since 2018, after the completion of my master’s degree in Urban Design in UCL. I see myself as an urban architect and my interest lies in the intersection between architecture and urban design.

Having studied architecture, I have a good background knowledge in the theory of arts, the design process and technical design. My interest in urban design gradually emerged during the final year in the university. I, then, continued pursuing more knowledge in the field by participating in urban design workshops and undertaking postgraduate studies in urban design and city planning learning more about the theory and principles of urban design and getting involved in citywide projects.

Working as an urban designer in a fast-paced consultancy for the last four years, I have been involved in a range of projects (UK & international) including high-level framework strategies, feasibility and capacity studies, design-coding for small and medium residential schemes, mixed-use residential schemes, as well as public realm and coastal regeneration projects.  

Outside work, I love sports, writing stuff in my blog and travelling for more inspiration.
