Michael is an accomplished design architect who is involved in the preparation and overview of concept designs and presentation drawings through to detailed design and project delivery.

He has worked with Kennedy Nolan since 2009, in addition to several years’ experience in European architectural practices and other notable Melbourne architecture firms.

His experience covers a wide array of projects and typologies, from single houses and inner-city apartment buildings, including the current Kennedy Nolan Nightingale Housing project, to educational and commercial projects.
