Whether in work or recreation, I am a natural creative - it's how I experience the world around me. Genuine expression is something I try to pursue in everything big and small. I'm excited by new spaces and new projects.

I work as a contracting architectural designer primarily within the private residential sphere. This discipline involves good design knowledge, project management and people skills, and an ability to work under design/time constraints.

Before this, I specialised in residential development for a large and varied private property Trust. I also have experience in event management.

I have volunteered as a young-adults/youth worker which was a labour of love. This developed my character and social skills at the time and provided me with good mentoring and team-building capabilities. All of these skills I've been able to utilise in my professional career.

I have a passion for music and screenwriting. The last few years I've recorded songs for multiple EP projects and written a TV pilot that's currently in post-production. Instruments inc. vocals, guitar, base, piano, sax.

On a personal note, my Christian faith makes my world bigger. I think everyone has belief, but real connection with my faith has changed everything for me. I've been involved in multiple Christian community projects and church plants with some of the most inspiring people; learning, laughing and journeying together.
