Starting his career as a draughtsman in New Zealand, he then moved to the UK where he worked with Bill Bennette on a number of large-scale refurbishment projects.

As a senior interior designer for Joanna Trading, and a director from 2016, during his 10 years with Joanna Wood he has successfully completed numerous projects in London and abroad including a penthouse in Mayfair, a large country house in Cambridge, a ten bedroom chalet in Gstaad and the Clubhouse at The All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon.

Now working for himself, he has completed a project in Boston, Massachusetts, Phase 1, 2 and 3 of the restoration of a house in Walton-on-Thames and recently completed works for the same client in St James’s, along with tendering for other projects in London and abroad.
