Originally trained in architecture at the Kent Institute of Art and Design. After six years working for Architype one of the UK's leading sustainable architects, with a strong emphasis on timber frame construction and community projects I have recently decided to take a more direct approach to timber and design.

I have also recently qualified as a joiner, providing me with the necessary skills to now mix designing and making. Currently I'm learning the time honored skills of cabinet making as apprentice to Ben Casson, a highly regarded furniture maker based at Wobage Craft Workshops.
