My project experience extends from assessing landscape and visual effects to providing high level urban design frameworks to provide strategic input to the design of major infrastructure projects as well as mixed use developments, retirement villages and town centre revitalisation projects.
I have been practicing as a professional landscape architect for over 40 years and work on a wide spectrum of projects spanning the urban design and landscape architecture disciplines.
I'm currently the Team Leader of Urban Design & Landscape for the Eastern Busway Alliance
In 2010 I moved to Shanghai and established a Boffa Miskell project office which I managed until my return to Auckland in 2017. During this period I worked on a wide range of private property developments and public realm government projects across China.
