Bio

As a practicing architect for over 30 years with a diverse portfolio of work, I have had the opportunity to help bring an amazing cross-section of projects come to life, both locally and globally. With a strong foundation in design and a keenness for strategic leadership, I excel as a driven, collaborative team leader that is always striving for ways to balance my passion for design with innovation and expertise. This expertise has given me much insight into how the architecture business works, be it through the people you interact with every day such as colleagues, clients, and stakeholders; or through processes and communication, which act as the fundamental backbone required to manage the business of architecture.
