About

I am an architectural consultant (retired) with extensive experience as a senior architect and project leader, gained over 24 years working with Scott Tallon Walker Architects, the last 12 of these at Board Director level. During that time I gained extensive experience as an architect and project leader in a broad range of building types, including commercial offices, third level educational buildings, private residential apartments and refurbishment of existing buildings. In my capacity as Project Director at Scott Tallon Walker, I successfully completed commercial headquarter office developments for many high profile international private and developer clients including Apple, PricewaterhouseCoopers, BSkyB, Citi and Treasury Holdings. I resigned from Scott Tallon Walker in September 2014 to pursue new challenges and opportunities in architectural consultancy, specialising in all areas of the commercial market. In January 2015, I joined the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB) as Project Architect, working as part of the Client Team for the design, construction and procurement of the new national children's hospital located in St James's Hospital campus in Dublin, Ireland. From 2017, I continued my involvement with the NPHDB in a consultancy role on a part time basis and resigned from the role in 2020.
