I am an inventive architectural designer with a deep love for the natural, tactile qualities of materials and expressive tectonic building structure. I am very interested in the possibilities of parametric design and an accomplished designer, communicator, contract administrator and digital 3D artist with an expert grip on a variety of software. I am also a musician and lover of the African outdoors.
Architecture has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I am fascinated by the built environment's ability to shape society, from projecting identity to the most basic levels of social interaction. I believe that, as Architects we have a great responsibility, both socially and environmentally to affect our planet positively, and produce a constructed environment of the highest quality and consideration.
