ABSTRACT

My dedication and inquisitiveness had led me part of the way into a new career; however I was not prepared for the next stage of my life.

In the year 2000 I was accepted onto the British Government’s Modern Apprenticeship Scheme. I joined a bustling architectural practice called Hadfield Cawkwell Davison. This was a new world to me; there were roughly 70 people in the company. Each studio was filled with architectural models, building materials, fabric samples, drawings and lots of coffee. My position was as an architectural apprentice.
