Blue Sky Consulting Engineers

Structural Engineering Consultant.
I grew up in a small, idyllic seaside town, spending much of my childhood outdoors. Like most kids, I loved to build things – but instead of Lego and blocks, I drew inspiration from the great outdoors. Studying a pair of intertwined trees in my grandparent’s garden, I first realised that a triangle is the most stable shape. Nature can teach us a lot about the structures we design and build.

When I should have been studying for my A-Levels, I was actually working as a builder’s labourer. After failing them (surprise, surprise) I made a deal with my Mum to retake them at night school, while I continued to gain construction experience by day. I eventually made it to University, but I filled every possible role on a building site beforehand. Most construction professionals never get their hands dirty.
