People first.
Always curious.

The relationship matters.

Designing a home invites someone into a very personal part of your life. I take that trust seriously. I want you to feel able to ask questions, challenge an idea and tell us when something does not feel right.

I believe a designer’s responsibility is to listen carefully, offer a clear point of view and help you understand the decisions ahead. The process should make space for your ambitions while staying connected to the realities of your site and budget.

Leading Modal Architecture

I founded Modal to put that approach into practice. Today, I work alongside our team to connect personal attention with the knowledge and coordination that a building project needs.

Auckland is my base. I travel to our Wellington office for one week each month to support the team there. That rhythm keeps me connected to the people and conversations shaping our work.
