I was born and raised in Sydney and completed my degree in Architecture at theUniversity of Technology Sydney, graduating in 1993 with honours. During my 6-year degree course I worked for the renowned Architect, Harry Seidler. Here Ilearned the importance of integrating both the art and science of architecture andhow it manifests into practical and inspirational design.
Following graduation, I trained in martial arts gaining a black belt and running amartial arts club in Manchester, England for 2 years before returning to Sydney in1997 to continue my career in Architecture. Over the next 14 years I worked forvarious firms gaining experience in high-end residential and retail design beforeestablishing Third Wave Design in 2009.
With more than35years of designexperience, I believe that the best outcomessuccessfully integrate both the client’s aspirations and a clear design vision to createbuildings that satisfy practical needs and the personal experience of living, workingand playing in a bespoke environment.
My experience has also taught me the importance of delivering the highest possiblequality in design, detail and craftsmanship, which is noticeably appreciated by thosewho use these buildings and ultimately adds value and longevity to the finishedproduct.
By managing all aspects of the design and documentation stages, I provide a morepersonal service to my clients, which optimises communication between the client,the building team and myself. I can also draw upon the skills ofother designassociates as well a team of consultants and building professionals to delivery avariety of project types and scales.
Please note I have chosen not to undertake registration with the NSW Institute ofArchitects. This means I can still undertake design work for all building types with theexception of multi-residential apartments of 3 stories or more.My firm holdsprofessional indemnity and public liability insurance.
