In the late 90s I moved to Norwich and became a builder bringing back to life property that had been neglected.
From 2000 to 2005 I served as a councillor at Norwich City Council on the Planning Committee.
Concerned about sustainability in construction, I began to pursue building projects that sought to reduce the impact on the environment and developed relationships with similarly minded architects.
In the early 2010s, after working at a number of architectural practices, I transitioned away from building to work directly with clients helping them to design their home improvement projects, guiding them through the planning process and obtaining Building Regulations approval.
