About

After successfully completing a four year Civil/Survey drafting apprenticeship in Sydney in 1996, I moved to London to work and travel. I spent approximately 5 years in London, accumulating work experience and developing my AutoCAD and technical drafting skills through a varied portfolio of civil/structural engineering projects. I returned permanently to Australia in 2002, and since then have fulfilled a number of drafting roles using the latest AutoCAD software.
