People

From the beginning, I had a vision to start up and be part of a reputable award-winning architectural practice. A practice recognised by clients and peers alike for providing high quality design and documentation, from residential to commercial projects, whilst offering great customer service.

Creative Arch is that Practice.

For years, I have watched the Creative Arch team grow in numbers, whilst maintaining its professionalism and integrity in an environment that promotes accountability.  Here you will find a group of professionals who look to 'Go the Extra Mile'.  

Hi, I'm a Westie, and I spent most of my childhood in Oratia, close to stunning West Coast beaches - you can't beat them.
I joined Creative Arch in 2004, enjoying many new opportunities and challenges. Creative Arch has a great relaxed atmosphere and has significantly expanded my knowledge of technical and design aspects of architecture.

Born and raised in China, I moved to New Zealand in 2001. I completed my Architectural Diploma in NDAT and then a Bachelor of Architectural Studies at Unitec in Auckland. This has provided a solid foundation for my personal and professional development with architecture. An enriched understanding of both Eastern and Western cultures gives me broader insights and experience with clients.

Architecture has always been my passion. I love helping clients achieve their dream home, and believe that design can have a positive influence for clients, the environment, and society. I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects, and offer a broad range of experience and knowledge.

As an architect, I am passionate about creating good architecture. I believe in designing spaces that enhance people’s lives and the natural environment they inhabit.I’ve been fortunate to have a number of years working on exciting and innovative projects in both London and Sydney. New Zealand is home and I am loving the amazing opportunities Creative Arch has to offer.

Born and raised in Mexico, this is where I completed my architectural studies. I have collaborated with various architectural firms since my third year of university. This has led to my involvement in a wide range of projects including residential, commercial and urban design.

With over 20 years in the architectural profession I have been fortunate enough to have worked with a variety of Architects and Designers, all of which have increased my passion for creating in the built environment. Every new project provides its unique challenges, one of the reasons the profession remains so appealing and exciting.

My desire is to help ensure that we can deliver good design, and I enjoy knowing that clients have gotten something better than they hoped for at the outset. Many years of experience on complex commercial projects have given me an appreciation of attention to detail.

I have over 20 years’ experience working on Commercial and Large Residential projects, this has given me a passion for all things architectural. I have expansive knowledge of construction systems and techniques, that I can apply and demonstrate to all my projects.

I started off studying fine art. Over the years, working in design and print, my interests became more focused on the technical until I decided to take the plunge into architecture. After getting my NDAT at Unitec I have ‘learnt the ropes’ in small architectural practices and I am now  learning from, and contributing to the great team at Creative Arch.

I have always had a passion for Architecture & Design, since graduating I have worked on a range of residential and commercial projects throughout New Zealand. I love being a part of the creative & technical process, helping people realise their architectural dreams.

I have worked in different industries over the years and it is always fascinating to learn something new. I have been with Creative Arch since joining the team in 2015, and loved every moment of it. Working here has given me the opportunity to learn about the architectural industry.

Originating from Melbourne Australia, I bring strong Reception/Admin skills and experience which enable me to perform my role with professionalism.
