About

Plus icon

Forming a strong concept early on plays an important role in the project. It allows me to carry the project right through, with a clear vision that the client, design team, and consultants can understand. To me, this is critical in determining the final outcome. Mindful thinking helps me tune into the present moment and think about how I might overcome any design challenges and reach a solution. When it comes to concept design, I have excellent hand drawing skills that enable me to produce very high-quality concept presentations for clients, which can then be seamlessly worked into computer models.

Inspiration

Drawing is something that I not only enjoy doing in the studio, but something I find relaxation in outside of work. I am inspired Bjarke Ingels, an architect whose drawings are fearless, pure concepts which inspire my approach to how I would start a project.

I enjoy British humour. In particular, the Blackadder series by Ben Elton
Copen Hill, Copenhagen designed by Bjarke Ingels
Keeping active is a passion of mine – I love playing tennis
