I am a seasoned and dedicated healthcare architect with a 34 year track record in the industry. I have extensive international experience that spans the design and procurement of complex healthcare facilities and environments. I have had the privilege of collaborating with leading healthcare providers, delivery organizations, and designers in the global market, contributing significantly to projects in Australasia, Mainland Europe, Ireland, and Southern Africa, across both Public and Private Healthcare sectors. Throughout my career I have demonstrated design and leadership skills, honed over three decades in the field. I am unwavering in my commitment to upholding the highest industry standards and staying at the forefront of healthcare facility design and development. My strength is developing close client relationships, while being able to listen and translate their needs. As the head of my own consultancy, one of my prominent clients, NSW Health Infrastructure represents an opportunity to drive substantial change at the front end of the industry. I provide strategic leadership and guidance to ensure the implementation of design excellence standards across Health Infrastructure's extensive portfolio.
