About 

An award winning professional with 9 + years of experience and a proven track record at excelling both academically and in practice.  Well-rounded strategic thinker with an integrated approach to holistic project stewardship, passionate about materialising innovative design concepts into the built environment.  Motivated by a progressive design process that express contextual contemporary identity and result in intelligible architecture that can motivate, inspire and serve.  Through the craft of architecture I strive to transcend the creation of static space to deliver resilient experiences that enhance a sense of place.  Continuously looking for opportunities where I can further push the limits of my abilities and current skills.
