Biography

Three years of post-graduate work involving designing and master-planning new neighborhoods in Nairobi and its surroundings, I developed a sensitive appreciation of the challenges of peripheral urbanism in sub Saharan cities. My interest is to explore the suitability of design proposals for emerging satellite cities hither; in view of already existing urban challenges ranging from economic(budgetary), infrastructural, environmental, and local urban-planning policy. I am a 29 year old Kenyan designer and architect, alumnus of the University of Nairobi (B.Arch -2013), passionate about great design, to serve precedence in for healthier, conscious developing cities that have greater mobility and productivity. Through the Gates – Cambridge scholarship and within the Department of Architecture, I hope to exemplify these emerging urban areas in perspective of other successful satellite cities globally, measured against appropriate planning policy and sustainable domestic economic models. That will be my MPhil Architecture and Urban Studies.
