Morgan Giddins

Summary

I am a recent BA (Hons) Architecture graduate from Arts University Bournemouth with a strong interest in contextual design, materiality, and the relationship between architecture and place. My academic work has developed my skills in conceptual design, technical drawing, model making, and visual communication, supported by proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Twinmotion, and V-Ray.

Alongside my architectural studies, I have gained experience across construction, retail, hospitality, and customer-facing roles, developing strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. My experience as a self-employed kitchen fitter has provided practical knowledge of construction methods, detailing, and working from technical drawings. I bring a high level of resilience, adaptability, and a strong work ethic developed through varied professional environments.

I am passionate about creating thoughtful, well-resolved architecture and am seeking opportunities to develop within professional practice.
