I am a project manager, experienced in a wide range of project types in the private and public sectors. I am passionate about designing exceptional architecture which has always compelled me to enhance my abilities as an architect and thus enabling me to create awe-inspiring and exceptional buildings. I am enthusiastic about designing environments that envelop its inhabitants with a sense of comfort and elegance within a creative design that permeates luxury in a distinctive and identifying style. I relate designing beautiful buildings to a classic musical masterpiece that transcend time or, when we hear a familiar song that transports us to a private world of our own embracing us in a state of pure bliss. We have all been there at some time or another and in the same way I believe architecture should be designed, foremost with sensitivity about its inhabitants and the most aptly impeccable taste, exceptional creativity and most of all joy.
That said - I have never worked a day in my life nor do I expect to.
