The agency’s creative director on the art and science of wayfinding, and the importance of employing people more talented than yourself

Why did you choose construction/digital twin as a career?

I suppose in some ways it chose me. Perhaps it was almost inevitable, although I didn’t see it at the time — my parents were both architects and I grew up in a family fascinated by the built environment.

I studied geography as an undergraduate and design as a postgraduate. Both those things came together beautifully at DNCO, as we’re a creative studio for place and culture.

I am captivated by places and how we relate to them. Working here has given me the opportunity to explore this subject from a completely different set of angles.
