As an experienced architectural illustrator, my job is to bring the projects of architects, designers and developers to life visually. My original training and experience working as an architect undoubtedly gives me an advantage here. I can work from my own sketches or from computer generated information but final illustrations are produced entirely by hand in watercolour, ink and crayon.
These are then scanned to provide a service that is extremely fast and quite unique. Artwork is usually completed at my Devon studio but I am happy to work on location when the need arises. My clients range from urban designers to developers, from architects to individuals and the projects I have worked on range from the Tate Modern and the House of Lords to private houses and local authority developments.
I often work at the very early stages of a scheme when there is little or no information and am used to collaborating with the design team, sketching on-the-spot that allow us to move quickly through ideas and viewpoints before deciding on the final image.

Services
One of my areas of particular expertise is using sketching as part of a collaborative process; working alongside the client and other stakeholders to create a set of drawings that can unfold in real time.
The process can be very speedy - for example, a series of seven sketches are often produced in a single day (see Dunedin architectural illustation case study).
This means drawing by hand, quickly, interpreting the input and information from those around me to produce lively, communicative images that help us move more quickly toward a finished design.

I attended a community workshop on site, coming into the process midway through the dialogue.
My task was to get to know the area, and then to visualise and translate into a series of images the various urban design proposals coming from the community.
Our aim was to improve the centre of Harlesden.
Access to my sketching made it possible for the participants in the workshop to see their ideas made tangible quickly and right before their eyes.
