Well, allow me to take you on a short journey on how I became an architect.
As far back as I can remember Iโve always been able to draw well by hand, and had a keen eye for design. Having initially wanted to be an animator, I sought a career as a trainee intern with Warner Bros at the tender age of seventeen.
During this time, my football career was also taking off, which, unfortunately was short-lived due to a life changing injury.
Down but not out, began my rekindling passion for design and sketching of which swiftly developed into an interest in Architectural design. Fast forward a few years, Iโd completed my degree and was thirsty for more.
If I said I loved the industry would be an understatement, in fact, I was hooked! All I did was eat, sleep and speak architecture during 20โs - almost to the point where friends and family banned me from talking anything architecture in their company.
Fast forward a few more years later, having project managed several commercial and residential projects up and down the UK for former employers and completing my final exams, I decided to make my own mark in the industry and started my own practice with a good friend from university in 2012.
Since then, Formed Architects has grown from its infancy into a practice which serves both homeowner and developer clients; from home renovations to multiple unit residence in and on the outskirts of London.

I once was scouted to be in a boy band.
