With over 9 years experience in the construction industry I have worked for a variety of busi-nesses and joined teams not only client side but also on the supply side during construction. My roles have mostly been architectural but I have also worked as a developer, specialist contractor and theatre set designer.

I have been part of start-up businesses, large, medium and small companies and have rep-resented these in London, Sheffield, Moscow, Istanbul, Mumbai, Palma and Dubai. The sectors I have been covering are super-prime residential starting with Candy&Candy, higher education, hospitality, live-work developments and master planning. My approach is always client focused, solution orientated and creative and I am well versed in delivering on projects within complex procurement routes.

My interests in architectural design tend to be site specific in respect of urban and natural contexts. However as architect I believe every project has its own particular qualities and challenges and that this is mainly due to its participants.

Over the last few years I have also popped back into University as a visiting tutor with several architectural faculties in London and I am cur-rently supporting the technical studies team at the University of Westminster.

My ongoing research through surrealist ar-chitectural drawings has been published and exhibited widely and can be seen online below and on permanent display at Home House Club in London.
