He has enjoyed developing feasibility studies, master plans and designs for new facilities, refurbishments and exhibitions with museum clients, including the Papua New Guinea National Museum and Art Gallery, Queensland Museum and the Eromanga Natural History Museum.
Skilled in client and user group communication and collaboration, team leadership, and complex services coordination, Stephen has consistently managed teams to produce high quality work within project timeframes.
