I am a practicing architecture graduate in Sydney,

Five years in university has taught me the tools to understand architecture as a profession and as an art. It’s not until now that I feel that I can look at architecture critically. The translations of spatial layering, or scales that need to be considered separately and holistically are skills that don’t come naturally.

This website is for my re-education, starting from the basics, I will attempt to deconstruct my education to the bare essentials, not considering the practical tools which of-course are equally important for Architects as professionals. Coming soon.

Currently at Grimshaw Architects in Sydney, best known for their work on large infrastructure buildings, including the Eden project in Cornwall and the Southern cross station in Melbourne. The office in Sydney was established to work on the city’s Metro, a project that is not looking promising.

Graduated MA in Architecture from University of Technology in Sydney Australia in 2009, where I am now teaching 3rd year Design for the Bachelor of arts in Architecture students.

I previously worked as one of the main designers for LAVA (Laboratory for visionary architecture) an international design and research focused company that works on medium to large to extra large developments all around the world.
