Having begun practicing as a solo practitioner in April 1993, I have over 30 years experience in primarily Residential home design. I have found that working with individual clients and exploring how they live, work and play, and future-proof the building, as a rewarding challenge.  Every client is different, along with the site and its challenges.  Having successfully worked on over 1,500 designs from KeriKeri to Invercargill, I have had experience with individual owner/builders, group housing companies, terrace housing developments and light commercial clients.  Having received a Bachelor of Architecture, with Honours at the University of Auckland, being prior to computers, I love the craft of beginning the design process with a pencil, ruler and butter paper.  Old School!
