In His Own Words
About him
Friends would probably describe me as thoughtful, practical, and quietly curious. I like understanding how things work and improving them—whether that’s an everyday object or something bigger.
I enjoy early mornings, good conversation, and making things that actually work. I’ve got a background in architecture and I’m about to start a new chapter at the RCA, which I’m really looking forward to.
I’m as happy working on an idea or in a workshop as I am walking the dog at sunrise or sitting somewhere with a decent coffee. I appreciate people who think for themselves and have a sense of humour—life’s better when you can laugh along the way.
Overall, I’d say I’m someone who’s still curious, still building, and enjoying where things might lead.
About his ideal match
I’m drawn to someone thoughtful, curious, and with a good sense of humour—someone who enjoys a proper conversation but can also laugh at the absurdities of life. I think relationships work best with mutual respect, a bit of independence, and not taking things too seriously.
I’d happily share walks, coffee, ideas, and the occasional adventure. Deal breakers? Probably unkindness, the ‘naturally miserable’ or someone who never laughs. …and right wingers.
