I received my degree in architecture from The University of The Free State at the end of 2003, and went on to work as a Candidate Architect at a local architectural practice in Bloemfontein. During my internship, I was fortunate enough to be able to work on a wide variety of interesting projects, and gained the knowledge and experience required to practice independently. I passed the statutory Professional Practice exam and qualified as a Professional Architect in 2005. In 2006 I started my own practice, and have completed many successful projects since then.
