Jessica Coapes, SKN atelier, MArch 1

Brief background: I’m from the UK, originally from Newcastle and moving around a bit when I was younger. My undergraduate was at Oxford Brookes University and I graduated 2023, then spent a year in practice working in Oxfordshire at a company called Ridge and Partners. I have first hand experience with special needs requirements as I have an autistic family member, I’ve learnt about sensory rooms and their benefits for users. I chose this project for this reason as well as my previous undergraduate projects were mainly designed with younger people in mind so this challenge was a combination of my life and designing experience.

Skills: Sketching, Revit, Adobe Suite, AutoCAD

Interests: Music, Athletics, Reading and baking
