About me

I’m driven by the challenge of turning complex ideas into clear and practical solutions. At the core of my work is a genuine passion for technology and how it can simplify the most demanding aspects of design and construction. Through BIM and digital delivery, I bring clarity, certainty, and confidence to every stage of a project.

​

My experience spans aviation, education, commercial, healthcare, and seismic retrofit projects, where I work closely with designers, engineers, contractors, and clients. I take a hands-on, buildability focused approach, aligning design with construction schedule, managing risk early, and supporting teams to deliver with quality.

​

I also work directly with clients to define asset information requirements and present design and construction progress, ensuring a smooth transition from delivery into long term operation.
