ARCHITECT | DRIVER OF NEW BUSINESS |
Motivated, Design-Orientated Professional, I seek to explore architectural genres across specific regions in order to create inspired design outcomes across all project disciplines. 20 years of industry experience.
My efforts in building relationships with clients, authorities and professional colleagues over 20 years has ensured that I have been able to draw upon a vast diversity of Architectural and ID typologies for my career to date. My penchant for Leisure Architecture, Hotels, F&B, Residential and and Interior Design has seen expansive travel over a lifetime to provide an understanding of global trend and retrospective influences.
International, Regional and Local Architecture has a role in the people orientated architecture. I seek to examine and execute the opportunities that each site and project possesses in order to fulfil the site's design potential.
Responsiveness to the end user's needs is imperative in creating a functional and inspired sense of place. An architecture without people is an art piece without soul.
The world is getting smaller and global thinking motivates me to transcend architectural boundaries both geographically and culturally.
With a strong focus on driving new Business Development through hard work in this regard, I have managed to continuously achieve development and architectural opportunities.
