I have a strong drive and a deep passion for design, boasting more than 18 years of experience in pivotal roles spanning the entire project lifecycle. I have extensive experience managing project teams, overseeing the delivery of architectural designs, and coordinating consultants with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary design. I have served as the lead architect on a variety of projects including office buildings, mixed-use developments, hotels, multi-residential buildings, and urban design projects. My communication, public relations, problem-solving and leadership skills, combined with my knowledge of architectural principles and codes, make me a highly valuable team player. My interest for interior design and product design has led me to win several design competitions and to be recognized as one of the five rising stars of South Africa in 2013 House and Leisure Award.
