Personal: With a strong grounding in my professional career, I wanted to experience new cultures and exciting environments, while furthering my design career. During 2005 I travel extensively throughout North America, South America, Australia and Asia. While in Australia I spent twelve months working as both an architectural assistant and photographer coupled with volunteer work at a local theater. I am a enthusiastic runner, having participated in five marathons around the world,
raising money for charities along the way. I am also a keen photographer
documenting images on my tumblr website: middleandoff.tumblr.com . Since the birth of my daughter last year any spare time in Los Angeles is precious and I am keen to take advantage of the LA landscape, heading to the coast to surf or the canyons on my motor bike.
