I'm a lighting specialistbased in Melbourne, Australia.

I lead Coolon's lighting design team, delivering lighting strategy and technical design for infrastructure, architectural and industrial projects across Australia. The role sits across design leadership, technical expertise and project delivery, working alongside engineers, architects and government authorities to land solutions that are compliant and visually considered rather than one at the expense of the other.

Isambard Studio is an independent creative practice I co-founded with Stefan Isherwood, exploring the relationship between light, darkness and human perception. We both came out of theatrical lighting and it shows: we make immersive installations that blur the boundaries between architecture, art and performance.

Light and darkness are our materials. Where an artist works in paint, we work in light, composing with contrast, sculpting with shadow and using darkness as deliberately as the light itself.

A more technical role with an LED manufacturer, on the engineering and performance side of lighting. I designed luminaires and worked on broadcast level sports lighting.

Six years at WSP, working up from lighting designer to associate. I led architectural lighting on commercial projects and worked across infrastructure and government work, including the Caulfield to Dandenong level crossing removals, and managed a team of designers around Australia.

Architectural lighting and audiovisual design for commercial projects, here and overseas, with a focus on hospitality.

I started out lighting theatre productions and events, which is where I first got interested in what light can do to a space, working on national and international gigs.
