personal statement
I have recently graduated from the university of sheffield, with an upper-second class degree in bsc landscape design and ecology. I undertook this with the eventual aim of qualifying as a chartered landscape architect.
current studies
ecology studies include: general plant science and physiology, land and conservation management, plant associations, ecological practices, regeneration of contaminated land and soil studies.
landscape architecture studies include: landscape design theory, ecological design, landscape construction, planting design, environmental assessment and associated planning issues.
career interests
my primary career interest, lies within the field of contemporary landscape design. I aim to apply this holistic design approach to all aspects of my work.
the role of computers and other developing technologies are another area of interest where I hope to study further. in addition, I am also looking at ecological design and mitigation, as well as environmental impact assessment.
as a landscape professional, I believe I am fortunate to be able to consider problems from a range of perspectives. thus I am able to look at projects as an ecologist, a planner, a contractor and as a designer.
for examples of my work and to look at a sample portfolio, enter my 'project gallery'.
this includes 'on a lagoon', a garden designed for my advanced construction project and based on paul klee's painting "city on a lagoon".
my other recent projects have included:
ecology research project: contaminated mine spoil of parys mountain, anglesea.
environmental assessment project: howbrook proposed opencast coal mine.
landscape ecology project: middlewood park.
housing design project: attercliffe village.
group design of a sustainable housing project on a brown field site.
june 1998 to september 1998 - landscape assistant at munro + whitten (southern), leicester.
duties included: general office upkeep (filing, copying, answering the phones, conducting correspondence), project administration, drawing amendments, updating product library, creating presentations and rendering drawings.
I enjoy playing and watching a wide range of sporting activities. most notably, I play squash and football on a weekly basis and like to play cricket, golf and rugby whenever possible.
I also enjoy listening to music and playing the guitar. when I can I like to read and hope to write a novel of my own in the future.
