About 

I've been working in various types of design office environments for more than 25 years. It is indeed a diverse experience in architectural design, production and management.

As with many things in my life, in design, I try to be present to both the little things and the big picture. Process and awareness are indeed important. However the most importance element to be present to, is how the user could experience the created space. Life should be great, happy and purposeful. Same applies for buildings, gardens, the world around us. Happy and purposeful.

Outside of work.....I'm outside. Nature holds many truths which are echoed in all things. Our creations should respect God's creations, all things natural. Yes its true, I could go on and on about my love for nature.

I'll just conclude that I believe that with a little bit of extra effort, extra detail, extra touch we put in every task, the works are done extra-ordinarily. 

Creating better buildings, better landscape is creating a better world.
