Creative ~ Innovative ~ Career Focused ~ Multi-Skilled
The design process gives me a great deal of satisfaction where I can concentrate on my ultimate goal and still be creative and inspired by my memories of past places, spaces and the widely differing uses of raw materials. A visit to the site is sometimes a glimpse into the past where historical associations or cultural signatures have somehow left their mark on the environment and landscape which may inspire further curiosity into what might or could come next in the constant evolution of the built environment. Design is a process that engages all the senses and the outcome of what we produce or build will ultimately have an effect on everyone who uses or visits that place and the judgment of our work and our creativity may last for generations to come.
