I am keenly interested in creating a beautiful place for everyone to live within, that is connected with the environment and looking after it for our benefit and future generations and all the other little creatures and ecosystems. I have a deep love of architecture public places and opportunities for people to gather and connect with others in the community is a focus of my work. I am a keen parkrunner, gardener, creative and enjoy eating out, spending time with the kids and family and friends. Interested in philosophy, economics and politics, art and history.
I grew up and went to school in Banyule. I have completed engineering degree and built a a design company, working with architects, urban designers and landscape architects. I have lived in Fitzroy and London for 6, years having been influenced and inspired by older Europe cities and would like to bring some of the wisdom of the past into our local area.
We are all different, and that is to be celebrated and a strength of our community. I’m keen to advance this diversity and to make sincere, deep improvements in the way we engage with and care for the environment and building stronger links with it like our First Nations peoples did.
