About Me

Welcome to my design portfolio. I am an architectural graduate from Brisbane Australia. I am passionate about good design, in that it not only serves a function but that it serves the community and protects the environment. I believe as a designer I have a responsibility to the generations of people that will inherit the building, the land and the city, that it becomes a positive contribution for the foreseeable future and beyond.

A Failure of Design- "The Lightbulb Conspiracy"

Planned Obselescence is a failure of the modern design & engineering age. An enconomy based on continuous growth which fails to recognise the limits of the earth's resources and capacity for waste is partly a failure of the design industry. Designers have an ethical obligation to design products and buildings that last, not to fail. We must start changing the industry to respect posterity not obselescence.
