About 

I have a passion for all things design. I value contextual, high quality architecture.
I am interested in social integrating sustainable design. Buildings that 
are sensitive yet contemporary and thought provoking.

Along with a Masters in Architecture from The University of Edinburgh I have two years experience in award winning design orientated practices, working mainly on residential, hotel and commercial projects.
