I enjoy the diverse social, aesthetic and logistical nature of architecture. I was drawn to Fulton Trotter by the diversity of work and the playful aesthetic. There’s a healthy work-life balance and you get to be involved with all aspects of a project. Yo

Who am I …

A design architect with a passion for people and places, travel and food, friends and family.

Home

Crows Nest, Sydney—café culture, village atmosphere, everything you need within walking distance.

Significant others

My partner Eddie, my mum, my little brother and a great group of close family and friends.

Why I do what I do

For the challenge and the joy of seeing people enjoy and use the buildings we help create.

When I decided to be an architect …

I read the Career Guider cover-to-cover and chose architecture because it encompassed so many disciplines—art, history, science, mathematics, social, climate, business, problem solving all rolled into one.

If I wasn’t an architect, I’d be …

Something in the food industry, or in theatre/singing, or possibly teaching or counselling.

What else I do …

Enjoy travel, photography, skiing, eating out and a nice glass of wine. Recently started plucking away at the guitar.

I did that!?

Developed a concept design for a library that helped our office be selected for the project.

My heroes

In architecture (to name a few): Paul Pholeros, Richard Le Plastrier, Rafael Moneo, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gaudi.
