As the senior designer for me it is all about the journey and exploration of the project and watching it come to fruition. There is always a Client, a beginning and a satisfying end however the space between is where the magic happens. For me architecture is organic & fluid, it's the process of elimination and consolidation of the original concept that excites me.
It is not my ideas that create the architecture, it is everyone’s involvement that shapes it. Architecture is an outwards expression of my inner creativity.

Architecture embodies my passion for life, like intricate jewellery (my other passion ) it’s the smaller and finer things I look for to create the larger complete piece, every thought and fine detail meticulous in its presence and meaningful in its place. 
I am consistently thinking and drawing against thought and dimensions to ensure the implementation of fresh and bold new ways of creating spaces for living life passionately.

Joy in my work is derived from being able to exercise considerations in creating a sense of home and belonging to a multitude of demographics across New Zealand. I love the challenge of creating beautiful yet practical solutions to problems which can improve people’s lives. Enriched by studies and practicing both here in New Zealand and abroad in Munich, Germany, I have had experience across a range of project types and budgets. This varied experience has played a pivotal role in refining my design sensibilities, interpersonal skills, and technical expertise with the focus of articulating the construct of a home; a place of comfort, security, privacy, conversation, celebration, growth and development. Home is not only a space for physical living, but a notion that holds various other associations; emotional, biological, cultural and societal.
