A building is never finished. It’s hard to stop the design process. And then once it’s actually built, you’re constantly in contact with the people who use it. Buildings influence the way we live.

Home
Originally from Chinchilla, a couple of hours west of Brisbane. At home wherever my heart is.
Definition of architecture
Happiness and usefulness through buildings.
Why I do what I do
To see the buildings built and lived in.
When I decided to be an architect …
Grade 3, sitting on the steps of the PE building at Chinchilla Primary, when I realised my love of drawings and running around Dad’s building sites could be combined.
If I wasn’t an architect, I’d be …
Primary school teacher—you’ve got to have a backup!
What else I do …
Travel, camping, road trips, adventures, cooking.
I did that!?
Any and all of the buildings I’ve worked on and completed.
I wish I’d designed …
So many of the beautiful details that are carefully crafted and found everywhere in our built environment.
My gangs
Bicycle Qld
My heroes
Everyone who works hard to achieve their goals.
