Day-to-day
I’m an architect and project manager recently relocated from Melbourne to Toronto, bringing 15 years of experience at the intersection of architecture and urban design. My work spans education, civic, commercial and residential projects, with expertise in education design, mass-timber construction, sustainable design and BIM-driven project delivery.
At MGS Architects, in Melbourne, I led master plans and major builds, including serving as project architect for an award-winning $70 million education project, guiding teams from concept to completion and thriving in the full design-delivery process. That experience deepened my passion for designing education buildings and campuses that enrich learning opportunities and enhance the student experience.

A significant, complex project in the heart of the campus, it responded to challenging site constraints and delivered a new model of learning and teaching space for students transitioning to secondary school.
