Architecture

As an architect, Colin had 12 years of experience in small, medium and large practices working on airports, health, hotels, industrial, leisure, offices, residential and retail projects.


Freelance CAD and 3D design work culminated in Colin’s role involving architectural and technical co-ordination of infrastructure information at Canary Wharf. This required an intimate knowledge of the applied use of software in the creation of design and construction information, but also equipped Colin with the valuable knowledge of how its flow relates to the underlying hardware.


Colin’s experience in architecture and IT created the opportunity to join Squire and Partners as their IT Manager, supporting their growth through the development of their IT systems and network.

IT

Colin has developed a wide range of IT knowledge, from the use and teaching of software to the specification, installation, support and management of IT systems within commercial architectural environments.


More recently Colin has been offering freelance consultancy for Mac-based design firms.


Colin’s major strengths in this area are his visual training and his own previous experiences as an architect.


Colin’s IT interests lie in the area where digital technology is used for the optimum creation of visual output for web, screen or print.

Photography

Recent advances in digital photography, and the means for its dissemination, have increased the emphasis and importance of visual communication for all businesses.


Colin’s range of skills not only allow him to capture compelling images but also to understand the complete digital workflow from capture to output.


Grounded in his previous architectural experience, Colin’s photography relates to an ongoing fascination with place and environment; light, space, form and composition all forming critical elements of his work.
