Qualifying in 2001, I made the final shortlist for the Royal Institute of British Architects Presidents Medal and was recognised as one of Britain’s most promising future architects in the same year. I rapidly rose to the position of senior project architect whilst working for a large international practice and was part of the team that delivered the Stirling Prize shortlisted Liverpool ONE development. Since 2009 I have co-created an established architectural practice. Our vision is to continue creating inspiring and sustainable places that enrich the quality of people’s lives.My experience facilitates the delivery of solutions that are creative but anchored with commercial awareness.
