I really like buildings. The ways they can be put together, their aesthetics, the systems that make them work, how they are used, and the challenges in designing them. I studied engineering, and then I studied architecture, and have been lucky enough to have contributed to some exceptional projects and picked up a few awards along the way.I now lead a fantastic team of engineers, helping people by delivering ingenious solutions to complex problems. I promote an inclusive and positive work environment, technical excellence, and developing meaningful relationships with clients and other consultants. I bring innovation, experience, and versatility to any team and draw upon my creative and technical abilities to integrate structure and architecture in an aesthetic way. I enjoy being challenged to improve, investigating new and interesting ideas, and working collaboratively to turn problems into great outcomes.
