About 

Currently based in Hong Kong, I am an Registered Architect of Pennsylvania and NSW and Victoria of Australia, currently with nearly 14 years of Architectural work experience.    I am currently a Design Director with BLVD Architectural Consulting in Shenzhen, China.   With my 14 years of experience, I have experience in the building design process from Concept through to the Construction.  

I earned both my Bachelor of Architecture and my postgraduate Master of Urban Design (Hons) from New Zealand.   In addition, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese from New Zealand too.  Although I do not hold a permanent resident visa (Green Card) or US Citizenship, I am able to apply for the E3 visa which is specifically for Australian citizens to work legally in the US.
