About Me

For over 25 years, I’ve helped homeowners across Hampshire, Dorset, and West Sussex transform their houses into homes they truly love.

My approach is built around clarity, guidance, and a structured experience—because improving your home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I run my practice like a great hotel, ensuring every stage is seamless and well-managed so you always feel supported.

I find it incredibly rewarding to design spaces that enhance everyday life—whether it’s a light-filled master bedroom, a family kitchen that becomes the heart of the home, or a whole new storey to capture a coastal view.

More Than Just Drawings

I specialise in working exclusively with homeowners—not developers or commercial clients—because I believe designing a home is a deeply personal process. My role is more than producing drawings; it’s about guiding homeowners through a structured, seamless journey, ensuring every stage is clear, well-managed, and free from uncertainty.

Your home is personal, and so is my approach. I listen carefully, present thoughtful designs, and refine them based on your feedback. Every project is a collaboration, ensuring the final design reflects your vision while benefiting from my expertise.

Why choose me?

I create spaces you’ll love coming home to—through structured, effortless architectural guidance from start to finish.

A Guided Experience – I ensure the process is structured, clear, and stress-free from the first sketch to the last brick.
Listening First: I take the time to understand your needs and refine the design based on your feedback.
Expert Problem-Solving – With decades of experience, I confidently navigate challenges, keeping your project on track.
Fixed Fees for Peace of Mind – No hourly rates or surprises—just clear, transparent pricing so you can focus on your home.

Every home transformation is a journey, and I make sure it’s well-managed and rewarding. If you’re ready to explore how we can work together, take a look at my portfolio or get in touch.

Teaching, Writing & Thought Leadership

Alongside my practice, I’ve spent over twenty years as a Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Southampton, where I lead the 4th-year master’s programme in Civil Engineering with Architecture. Teaching helps me communicate complex design ideas clearly, keeps me closely connected to emerging trends, and fuels my passion for sharing knowledge.

I’m also the author and illustrator of Where We Live: A Guidebook to Urban Design. And I regularly write insightful articles about home design and architecture for this website’s Journal section.
