Director

Your partner for high-performance buildings and smart infrastructure. We specialize in architecture, engineering, environmental and construction services.

Although trained and registered as an Architect, I have a broad experience in design ranging from the strategic potential of city-shaping infrastructure through to the detailed materiality of timber, glass and steel. I'm currently an Associate Director at HDR Rice Daubney’s Sydney Studio. Having been involved in almost every imaginable design sector, my skills are best when working into cross-sector and complex projects, blurring urban design and strategic problem solving - projects where an obvious solution is by far the best answer (but like most obvious solutions is the result of enormous collaborative effort and testing). I'm passionate about design technology, sustainability, and the impact that design has on people and communities. This sees me constantly looking for new ways we can harness factual knowledge in design - the profession can be much more objective about the designs that we propose for our clients, rather than relying on our unsubstantiated designers 'feelings'​ or ego. Although currently based in Sydney, I've worked extensively around Australia and internationally including Melbourne, Brisbane, London, Berlin, New York, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur on multi-award winning projects. My photography focuses on the colour, scale and structure of natural and urban landscapes. Building and flying drones is just for fun...at the moment!
