" An architect should be ingenious, and apt in the acquisition of knowledge. He should be a good writer, a skilful draftsman, versed in geometry and optics, expert at figures, acquainted with history, informed on the principles of natural and moral philosophy, somewhat of a musician, not ignorant of the sciences both of law and physic, nor of the motions, laws, and relations to each other, of the heavenly bodies."
Crafting illustrations with purpose
Driven by a lifelong passion for architecture and the visual arts, I returned to the academic world after spending 25 years in the digital graphics industry. This decision began an enriching new phase of learning for me. As I approach the completion of my Bachelor of Applied Science in Architectural Science at Curtin University, I am excited to present this online folio. Here, you will find a curated selection of projects representing my academic journey, evolving perspective, and dedication to architecture and design. I welcome you to explore this portfolio that captures my past experiences and excitement for future architectural opportunities.
