S T O R YI grew up in the Waikato region in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand. Once finishing high school I took two years off to work, to race bikes and decide what I wanted to do with my future. After a winter season in the mountains of Colorado of the USA I decided to undertake a Bachelor of Design at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. During this time I undertook projects within NZ and international sites. I was fortunate to study a paper in India and be involved in a field trip to Sydney. Once I graduated I worked for an Auckland firm called LA4 for over a year. After this year I took a job with Darby Partners Ltd in Queenstown where I was based for a little over two years. I left Queenstown at the beginning of 2010 where I planned to gain some valuable life experiences on the road. Until the end of 2011 I lived/worked/breathed in Groote Eylandt of the Northern Territory of Australia, Singapore, Ontario, BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan of Canada, Washington, New York and Hawaii of the USA and Fiji. At the end of 2011 I moved to Brisbane where I gained a position with Lat27. That brings us to the now.
