As a child I was fascinated with drawing and making. At nursery I made a building from cereal boxes, my mum was very proud. Even today she recounts this as early evidence of my architectural leaning.

Aged 17 I decided to study architecture. I think the appeal of architecture was that it seemed to offer the opportunity to make things better for people. To this day social purpose has always been important to me.
