Based in Cardiff Bay, I am currently working as an architect. Outside of my regular employment I do some web design and coding, as well as dabbling in as many other design fields as I can. I play and active role in Design Circle, the local branch of RSAW, and I am currently learning Welsh.

Having moved to originally Cardiff to study, I fell in love with the place and decided to stick around. I finally settled for living smack bang in "old" Cardiff Bay

I try my best to live sustainably by living a car-free in a thirty-three square metre studio and doing the weekly shop at the widely acclaimed Riverside farmers market.

Having worked at Holder Mathias Architects for a number of years has given me the opportunity to work on a range of interesting and exciting projects. Feel free to have a look around, but the projects below are a short selection that I have personally been involved in.

Atrium, Cardiff Working as project architect from RIBA workstage B to M has given me to realise a project from initial design concept to completion and feedback.

Gwyn Hall, Neath Working as lead design architect on this exciting community arts facility built within the listed victorian shell of from initial concept work leading to a public consultation, in preparation for an application for planning permission and listed building consent.

Watermark, Cardiff Bay For this waterside residential development in Cardiff Bay, I undertook work as project design architect from concept design to tender.

Charles Street, Cardiff In gaining planning permission for this small residential development in the Charles Street Conservation Area in Cardiff, I undertook work as project design architect from concept design to planning application stage.

Building and maintaining the Design Circle website has given me the opportunity to explore web design and coding. Though not a main line of work, I am happy to design, build and host simple sites. Below are some examples of sites recently created. If you'd like to discuss a project, please get in touch.

Collaborative Design Studio Kevin and Mhairi of Collaborative Design Studio asked for a site that could be a showcase of their projects, as well as their teaching and research efforts. The result was a simple and clean site that focuses on the evocative images of their work.

Design Circle Having set up this local branch of the Royal Society of Architects in Wales in 2007, Design Circle wanted a web-presence to allow it to inform members of events and activities in the area.

Reflecting Wales 2008 A mini-site to accompany Reflecting Wales, an exhibition held by Design Circle, this is a simple showcase of material exhibited at in the Senedd in the summer of 2008.

Other than architecture and web activities, I dabble in as many types of design as I can.

Ranging from graphics to furniture (sort of!), please feel free to have a play around with the items on the desktop on the right.

Having been involved as a volunteer with Design Circle (the South Wales branch of the Royal Society of Wales), I have been principally responsible for setting up and maintaining the organisation's web presence.

More recently, I have taken on board some design duties for publicity materials, setting up of the monthly Design Circle Social, and setting up the basics of our forthcoming architectural film series.

Ever since moving to Wales I've wanted to learn the language. Four years ago, I finally found the time to take up a course at the Welsh Adult Learner's Centre at Cardiff University. Having completed the Menediad exam a couple of years ago, I took a year-or-so break before continuing on the Sylfaen course.

I have currently registered for the exam in June 2009(so wish me luck!), and aim to translate this site, so that you'll be able to get all the information contained on here in Cymraeg.
