I believe that our surroundings, when well designed, can have a profound effect on our everyday lives - it is here that I find the true joy and passion for my profession. My approach to design and architecture is thoughtful, precise and poetic and I pride myself on being able to carry projects through with great discipline and efficiency. I am a diplomatic person, not only in the just manner in which I collaborate with both colleagues and clients, but also in the conscientious way I develop design solutions.
