About Me.
Hello,
​
My name is Wafa Yahya, and I am an aspiring architectural engineer currently based in Portsmouth, UK, pursuing my MA in Architecture Spatial Design Practices at the University of Portsmouth. I will be graduating in July 2025. After earning my degree in Architectural Engineering from the University of Sharjah in 2020, I have gained three years of experience in architectural firms in Dubai and the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
​
My expertise spans various phases of architectural design, from concept development to detailed working drawings, with a focus on user experience and sustainable, adaptable design. During my MA studies, I have deepened my knowledge of artistic design techniques and sustainable strategies as well as multiple theories from the world of urbanism, psychology, and political views on the world. I also coordinate a peer-led mentorship programme called Blueprint Studio, guiding students in software like Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, and SketchUp.
​
I am actively seeking new opportunities in the architectural field, including full-time, part-time, project-based assignments, and freelance work. While based in Portsmouth, I am open to remote work and relocation. I am currently available for internships or work experience starting June 2025, and open to part-time or freelance opportunities throughout the year.
​
Notable achievements include the redesign of a triplex facade and the production of layout plans for a linear villa. I also delivered a 250 sqm architectural project in just 36 hours, showcasing my dedication and ability to meet tight deadlines. Proficient in AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Enscape, Rhino, and Adobe Creative Suite, I am well-equipped to contribute effectively to a wide range of architectural projects.
​

Warm regards,
Wafa Yahya
