" 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."

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio in de Architectura, Book I

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.
