As a child growing up in Mount Lawley, walking to school was Rob’s daily adventure. Instead of taking the same route, he’d explore different streets around the inner city and admire the houses along the way. Even now, he still enjoys taking walks through different neighbourhoods, fascinated by the variety of architecture.
For the first decade of his career, Rob honed his skills at various architectural firms in Perth, specialising in luxury housing projects. After gaining valuable experience, he transitioned to working as an interior designer.

After this, Rob joined his current workplace. Over the course of the last two decades, his career has taken him across the vast expanse of Western Australia. From bustling urban centres to remote coastal towns, he’s had the opportunity to work on a wide range of housing typologies. Each project has presented its own unique challenges and rewards, shaping Rob into the versatile professional he is today.
