I’ve been a qualified architect for almost 20 years, since I finished my 7 years of architectural training at the university of Sheffield. I now live in Chesterfield; along with my wife Lucy, we are rising our family here together.
Before starting MAD Architects, I worked at a large commercial practice, in Sheffield. I gained a great deal of experience and knowledgeable working on a diverse range projects, for clients including the Home Office, Suzuki, Westfield shopping centres & developers Wilson Bowden.

During this time I gained invaluable experience, including working on highly sustainable buildings such as the first BREEAM excellent office in Sheffield.
MAD architects was born out of my desire to work more collaboratively with clients, on design led, bespoke ‘environmentally friendly’ projects. Initially, whilst still working at a large commercial firm, I started the practice with help of an old university friend.
At first, we worked part-time on projects for family members and then friends, the practices reputation for innovative sustainable designs grew. Over the next few years we were increasingly being approached by homeowners, local builders and property developers, to help facilitate their ideas.
In 2012, with my wife and young families support, I made the decision to leave full time employment behind and fully commit to MAD. As it turned out, it was probably the best professional decision I’ve made.
I now lead a small team of trusted and highly experienced consultants. We share a collective passion for design, creativity, sustainability and professionalism.
