I'm based in Beijing for now.

I'm an artist and architect based in London and Beijing. At the moment I spend most of my time in Beijing, though I grew up and was born in London.

At any given moment you're most likely to find me:
- drawing, painting
- playing percussion or singing with my impromptu band. (Actually just a group of friends who look for places to perform together. So lets call ourselves a band!)
- reading
- doing morning yoga (this is a recent thing, so lets see how long it lasts..)
- writing

Favourite place to be: at the top of a ski slope, with a fresh run of untrammelled snow lying before me..

architecturally, I design unusual spaces that aim to feel different every time you enter them. And which tell a story or take you on a journey.
I make animations with a quirky sense of humour
I've lived in a few countries and whenever I'm not working i spend my time exploring new cultures and cities and generally enjoying what life has to offer.
I'm also into rock climbing, badminton and sailing.
