conceive, CONSTRUCT, CAPTURE

My Experience

I have 9 years part-time commercial & residential construction experience, paired with engineering qualifications and a Bachelor of Design (architecture.) I have worked as part of large teams and also as a solo carpenter, designed and built projects for both clients and myself.

My Skillset

I possess a sharp eye for detail, an eager mind that excels at problem solving and visualizing three-dimensional spaces with the know-how to build them. Paired with strong interpersonal skills and sense of humour that allows me to work effectively with a wide variety of people.

My Goals

I am looking for an opportunity to work on projects with emphasis on sustainability and quality. I aim the break the the cycle of 'copy-paste architecture that currently is embedded in the built environment. I hope to constantly expand my knowledge of construction protocol, contributing to my knowledge of construction methodology and diversifying my experience in the built environment.

About me

I grew up in a rural area, spending my youth in agriculture before transitioning to carpentry work as a result of my hands-on upbringing.

I excelled in the areas of construction (practical & theory), metalwork and engineering from my years at school, securing top 10 in the state for both in final High School Certificate exams. After an opportunity to redesign and help build a relatives home it sparked a desire to study architecture.

While completing my Bachelors, I worked part-time for multiple construction companies exposing me to a broader range of projects including large housing estate developments and hospital upgrades. My roles have covered all stages of construction over the past 7 years, with knowledge of compliance regulations and best-practice methodology.

I am building an off-the-grid shipping container 'bach' in my rural hometown with over 80% of the materials collected from sites I worked on in Newcastle, tying into my minor of sustainable design.

I have also spent 1.5 years full time building on both commercial & residential sites working as a carpenter. I have often worked with a small team below me due to my understanding of building practises and plan reading skills.
