About

Architect | Engineer | Design & Delivery Leader | Keynote Speaker & Leadership Trainer I am an Associate Director at EPR Architects in London, bringing over 18 years of international experience delivering high-value, complex real estate and development projects across the UK and globally. I work at the intersection of design & coordination leadership, technical delivery, and commercial performance, supporting property developers, investors, and private clients in maximising asset value through design excellence and efficient project execution. My portfolio spans large-scale residential developments, healthcare, education, aviation, infrastructure, historic listed buildings, and super-prime luxury projects in London. What drives me most is solving complexity: I have a strong track record of leading multidisciplinary teams to deliver design and coordination effectiveness at every stage of the project lifecycle, projects aligned with investment objectives, programme certainty, and long-term asset performance. My approach combines strategic thinking, technical expertise, and inclusive leadership to create high-performing teams, foster collaboration, and build long-term client relationships based on excellence, trust, and results. I believe great projects are not only about designing buildings; they are about leading people, creating enduring value, enhancing assets, and delivering places that perform commercially and socially. Alongside my career in design and construction, I’m committed to supporting and developing the next generation of professionals into confident and effective leaders through mentoring, coaching, training, keynote speaking, and educational content online. This is more than a passion; it’s a serious commitment grounded in rigorous research in social psychology and organisational behaviour. I apply evidence-based methods to help professionals build trust, strengthen communication, develop leadership confidence, and unlock high-performing teams. Let's get in touch!
