About Me
Several years ago, I was tasked with writing a CV as part of a university module. On the surface, this was quite a mundane task, but it forced me to ask myself a serious question: What am I actually trying to do with this career? What do I want to achieve in Architectural Technology, beyond simply earning a living?
The answer came quickly, and has stayed with me ever since: I want to help people.
Before university, I’d already had a different kind of education. I had dropped out of sixth form, and joined the British Army. Eager to gain real ‘life experience’, and do something significant. I served for seven years, during which I completed two tours in Afghanistan. My experiences defined me. It taught me to think clearly under pressure, the importance of following methodical processes, and critically, the ability to adapt when things don't go to plan.
Later, whilst working in practice, things worked very differently to what I had experienced in the military. I would get frustrated when the same problems would surface time and again. Delivering high-quality design was taking longer, not because the work was harder, but because the systems were inefficient, the tools outdated, and the processes bloated. At the same time, regulatory demands were rising, and design was increasingly seen as a box-ticking exercise. Something to minimise, rather than value. A luxury, not a necessity.
If you’re adding 16m² to your home, you shouldn’t have to spend a fortune on design just to tick the boxes and navigate the red tape. And as designers, we shouldn’t be wasting time on things that don’t add value.
Bespoke design was drifting out of reach for most people. Services were becoming more complex, more expensive and less effective. This is both bad for the client and frustrating for the professional. Well thought out and considered design does improve the end user experience. And properly planned and executed projects result in better outcomes.
So I made it my mission: To make high-quality architectural design accessible, affordable, and understandable for everyone.
- Accessible, by cutting the jargon and explaining the “why” behind every step.
- Affordable, by optimising the design process to ensure every penny of your budget adds real value to your home.
- Understandable, by showing people what matters and helping them avoid what doesn’t.
Not every project needs a designer’s touch, not every budget can support one. But every person deserves to be empowered, supported, and at the very least, pointed in the right direction.
I’m a Chartered Architectural Technologist with a First-Class Honours degree in Architectural Technology, and this mission is what drives everything I do.
In order to pursue this purpose fully, free from the constraints of businesses that don’t share the same values or standards, I founded THEO ARCH TECH. It exists to realise this vision without compromise.
Our flagship project is an ambitious platform that brings this mission to life, an all-in-one system for designing and managing construction projects as well as the entire business operation around them. It’s a tool built to deliver on that promise of universal empowerment, for homeowners, designers, and businesses alike.
That’s how I will make a difference, by combining deep industry experience with smart, cutting edge and scalable tools.
No fluff. Just focused, people-first design that achieves the mission.
If that sounds like what you need, let’s talk.
