Over twenty-five years in the built environment sector I’ve designed and delivered numerous high quality buildings and public spaces, established and built a successful architecture practice, contributed to design review panels and awards judging and collaborated with some of the best clients and practitioners in the field.
I founded Form Place to make a positive impact - raising the quality of the built environment through education, mentoring, client advice and design review.
