NZ Registered Architect Practicing
I am a Principal Architect at Wingates and an NZIA Fellow, with over 25 years’ experience across residential, commercial and social housing projects. In my current role, I lead and support a range of projects, contribute to business development, and mentor emerging architects across the practice. I bring a strong design focus alongside deep technical and governance expertise, shaped through senior roles at Maynard Marks and Context Architects and service on the NZIA Board. I am passionate about creating thoughtful, high-quality spaces and am known for design leadership, collaboration, and delivering complex projects that positively shape communities.
