Ian McDonald

Managing Director

My name isn’t actually Ian! Don’t ask…..it’s a Scottish thing! In my role, I get to sprinkle some stardust occasionally but mainly, it’s just about learning how to lead better. Positive, optimistic people who want to succeed no matter where they’re starting from inspire me the most. In terms of my spare time, in the winter, I’ll ski (quite badly!) whenever I get a chance. In the summer I’ll probably be trying to repair the camper van (again!). In between, I’ll probably be walking along the coast somewhere or engrossed in the latest Bernie Gunther story from Philip Kerr. If I could live in any time and in any place it has to be the 60's, in the UK. Probably London – apart from the sounds and the style, it has to be one of the most dynamic and exciting periods of modern architecture; throwing off the austerity of the 1950’s for the optimism and sheer scale of the new London County Council estates, the defiance and ambition of the Smithsons, the beautifully crated concrete of Denys Lasdun, and the brutal elegance of the Scottish Modernist masters, Isi Metzstein and Andy McMillan at Gillespie Kidd and Coia…..no architectural fluff, just honest, confident buildings for real people!

Martin Bridge

Director

I have been with Axis Mason in Jersey since 2004 and love working on the wide variety of project types we undertake. When not working, I spent the majority of my time playing with Lego “with my son”. Something you may not know about me? I scored from the hallway line in the Paisley and District under 18s cup final (1991) – still the single greatest achievement of my life to date.

Alick Roberts

Director

I have been part of the Axis Mason team in our London studio for over 17 years. It has been a greatly rewarding journey to help develop and nurture the business into a family of international studios that seek to enrich people’s lives through design. A constantly evolving group of people and projects keep each year challenging and rewarding. When not working I love to run the Oxfordshire trails with my dog Chester and enjoy a pub lunch with family.

Malcolm Pitt

Director

As I near the end of my second decade at Axis Mason my ambition, being part of a young dynamic leadership team, is to make a significant contribution towards cultivating a happy & healthy workplace by strengthening our unified goal of enriching people’s lives through the work we do. Among other things, I believe that a good work-life balance is a key ingredient to happiness, and addressing core values like these in the workplace can empower us as a company. When I’m not working you can quite often find me in my surfski 2km offshore in windy conditions chasing ocean swell; a special place where a real appreciation of perspective is embraced.

Mark Coppins

Director

I moved from our London studio to Jersey in 2005 for a slower pace of life. It hasn’t worked out like that as the interior team has grown from strength to strength! When not at work I enjoy socialising, walking on some of Jersey’s fine beaches with my two dogs Hamish & Skye and also the odd glass (or two) of red wine!

Jenny Dunseath-Franklin

Director

I have a diverse role at Axis Mason, looking after various aspects of the business. It’s a very fulfilling role and I most enjoy the people & culture aspect of our business and I am fortunate to be in touch with all of fantastic team across all 5 Studio’s. When I am not working, you will find me on the beach walking my two Dobermans Chas and Dave or coming up with ridiculous interior designs for our house. If I could be in any place at any period of time I would be on a 1940’s film set, starring alongside Cary Grant in a fabulous 1940’s outfit. Something that might surprise you about me is that I have about 150 pairs of shoes!

Maciej Mazur

Director

In 2009, after 4 years working at our Jersey Studio, I travelled back to Poland to open our studio in Gdansk. I love to design and to also be on site to see how our buildings grow. Apart from architecture I am very interested in urban design and I am pleased to have had the opportunity to work with students at Gdańsk University of Technology. Outside of work, I enjoy active leisure time, food, and spending time with friends and my family.

Christian van Dee

Director

I enjoy the sense of team across our studios, and it’s exciting to see how we will continue to evolve in the coming years. Outside work, you can often find me in old jeans with a tool-belt around my waist putting the finishing touches to the long-time refurbishment of my home. I now enjoy spending more of my newfound spare time relaxing with my wife and two kids, either outdoors or chilling in our new space. When I’m not out running or cycling, I enjoy reading about the latest tech-innovation, either architectural or the latest cycling gear. Coming from Dutch roots, one of my (pipe)dreams, is to introduce some speed skating prowess to the UK by championing an idea for the first 400m long track speed skating rink in the UK, ideally near Glasgow.

Martin Dunseath-Franklin

Director

My father, who is a retired Architect, actively discouraged me from following in his footsteps, which I found rather confusing at the age of 16. I think he thought there were other professions that might be more financially lucrative! Anyway, I’m glad I ignored him because I can’t think of many things I would rather be doing, as there’s nothing quite like building new stuff for people, as well as looking after buildings that exist already, and I’m still saying that 31 years in! I’m from Norwich originally and therefore ‘enjoy’ the pain of supporting Norwich City Football Club. When I’m not doing that, you’re most likely to find me in the sea or on a beach with Jenny and the dogs, or occasionally on the water when anyone that’s lucky enough to own a yacht invites me to go sailing! If I could be in any place at any time, I’d be like Doctor Who, or even Marty McFly. I think either would be pretty fun. Carpe Diem (but also good to look forward)

Darius Coertse

Associate Director

Self-confessed architectural enthusiast, sports fan and hooked on knowledge through books. Every morning commuting to studio I realise the great responsibility that has been bestowed on architects to improve the communities around us.

Yawar Shahzad

Associate Director

I joined Axis Mason in 2014 as one of the originating members of the Glasgow team. Participating in projects across the AM studios, I enjoy engaging in challenging opportunities that result in a creative design response. I believe design is at the heart of everything we do, it should be explored, encouraged and nurtured to ensure the best possible solution is applied to all of our projects. Outside of work I like to spend as much time as I can with my family and can regularly be found standing on the touchline pretending to be Jürgen Klopp as I coach my sons football team.

Anne-Marie Benson

Associate

I moved to Jersey & joined Axis Mason May 2017 from Northern Ireland and I am an Interior Designer for the Awesome Jersey Team (Dream Team). When not at work I am embracing all things new here on the beautiful island of Jersey.

Leah Bliss

Associate

All about the architecture of landscape. Cities, towns, streets, squares, parks, roofs, gardens… a bench: Each dramatic in affecting our relationship with nature and each other! Setting and site are arguably the most important element of any design project and my job is about respecting, protecting and enriching their future. If I’m not in the studio working hard toward a greener construction industry (Axis Mason specified of over 500 trees this year) you’ll likely find me brewing beer for one of Jersey’s latest start-up businesses, Bliss Brew Co!

Lejla Cilliers

Associate

Not many people know I have been with the company for almost 20 years. I am mummy to a beautiful mini schnauzer called Coco. In the evenings you’ll find me watching football and rugby, drinking lots of good wine, I do love wine!

Arkadiusz Kicki

Associate

I am a qualified architect with over 15 years’ experience in delivering a number of residential, workplace and mixed-use schemes across Poland, UK and South Africa. After studying at Gdansk Technical University, I joined AM in 2007. At AM, I am responsible for a care home in Poland and recently residential scheme in Jersey, the Bath Street Redevelopment and interiors for 5-star hotel in Jurata, Poland. Previous experience includes residential village Mt Richmore in South Africa, office scheme Mulcaster 2 in Jersey and residential scheme in Birmingham. I was also responsible for improving CAD standards through the offices!

Paul Minter

Associate

I joined Axis mason about 4 years ago, in which time I have enjoyed a variety of interesting projects & challenges. Away from work I enjoy taking part in and watching sport, travelling to new places and spending time with friends and family. I can often be found in sunny Brighton watching football, drinking coffee or fighting off seagulls on the beach.

Ataf Sakhri

Associate

I started my journey with AXM in 2016, and I keep enjoying what I do. Outside my professional life; Exploring new places is always at the top of my to do list, I’m always up for new challenges! I enjoy boxing, running and discovering new shortcuts while cycling in London!

Natalie de Abreu

As an architect, I believe that we have a responsibility to design and implement a more socially accountable environment. As a designer, I see design as a tool to bring people together. As an individual, I’m most myself when I’m not too far from the sea or attempting to climb a mountain. Aside from architecture, one of my personal pleasures is walking. I feel most alive experiencing a city on foot, learning from people that breathe life into the spaces we create. Axis Mason has presented me with the opportunity of tackling architecture on a global front. I am most driven by the wide variety of design challenges we are faced with and the dynamic team I am fortunate enough to work with. In turn I hope to diversify my skillset in order to better equip me in addressing spatial interventions in the future.

Dhiantha Achary

I enjoy having the opportunity to learn from being exposed to the variety of building projects Axis Mason tackles. I get to try a little bit of many projects and it has, and will continue to, push my understanding of buildings, space and people. The opportunity to create something for people, with which they interact so entirely- it's a huge responsibility and a great source of inspiration. In my spare time I'm usually working on my side hustle, hiking around Durban or skating along the beachfront. If I could be in any place and in any period of time it would definitely be sometime in the future! I've always been curios about what the futuristic East Africa would look like.

Paula Alonso

I joined the Axis Mason London team in 2022 as a qualified architect. Passionate about sustainability, my personal goal is to build a greener future in and out of architecture. Out of work I love doing sports, exploring the world, and enjoying a good book.

Luke Anderson

I decided to move to London and joined the team as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant shortly after receiving my degree from Oxford Brookes. Being from a small village in South Wales, this was quite a big decision, but I'm enjoying every minute of it! Outside of work, I enjoying exploring new places in London with my friends.

Derik van Blerk

After my studies I moved to the South African coast where I joined the Axis Mason Durban studio. I am proud to be part of a diverse, global team that never backs down from a challenge and strives to enhance the lived spaces that we find ourselves in - all while having some fun along the way. The best part about my role is that I am in an environment where I get to learn something new each day - and also teach others a thing or two every so often! I spend my free time making things out of wood, playing golf, sketching, reading and watching Formula 1.

Dominic Blomfield

As part of the team since 2003, I love the variety of projects we work on. Axis Mason has grown, with a diverse and exciting mix of people, locations, cultures, and abilities. I see the future being exciting and rewarding as we continue to grow and develop. When I’m not working, I‘ll probably be helping others with their pet projects, or trying to fix something, or enjoying time, food and a glass with family and friends.

Michael Blumrick

Howsit. Surprisingly, my blood is red... kimmon you gunners! Meaning I’m a bit of a sports enthusiast and enjoy watching when I can. I’m otherwise kept busy jolling with my beautiful family, beaching, riding, walking, seeing – fully doing & loving life with them. In my ’me’ time, I like to smash a ball around a squash court (and of course a few coldies after). The possibility of creating spaces to enrich a human’s experience through architecture inspires me and I am excited to be part of the Axis Mason team that allow these opportunities to manifest.

Max Boden

So far, no two weeks have been the same, I’ve done and learnt a lot. My biggest challenge has been QA, Carbon Smart, and AMDO… Along with getting Lejla and Jenny to use the app!). One thing that might surprise you is I’m actually English (everyone always asks)! Good intentions mean nothing, only action followed by result.

Reise Bore

I have just started my Design career with the Interiors team at Axis Mason. I am looking forward to continuing my professional development as I work on future projects with Axis Mason. When not working, I like to socialise with family and friends on the weekends and play 7-aside football on the weekdays.

Nicole Callaghan

I am honoured to have recently joined Axis Mason, and look forward to taking on new and exciting challenges – which I’m lucky enough to be doing in the company of some great people. I have a pragmatic and all inclusive approach to design, with an eye for detail. Outside of work I’m at my happiest when I’m outside, lost in the country / up a hill somewhere with my dog, at the gym, or just winding down with friends & family.

Vesna Carnegie

I am Vesna and I have been with Axis Mason Jersey Studio for four years. When I was very little, I wanted to be a doctor (but was quickly discouraged by the sight of medical books). I knew I wanted to be architect from the age of 10 - inspired by my aunty who was an architectural technician. A perfectionist like myself could not have chosen better, I enjoy it immensely. In my down time I love sitting by the beach with a favourite book and coffee.

Caitlin Christie

Kyle Coleman

I joined axis mason in 2013 in the growth stage of my career, hungry to learn, and working with the Durban team has provided exactly that. I enjoy the wide variety of project types we are exposed to, with my preference being the commercial office fit-outs. When I’m not at work I enjoy turning some steaks on the grill with and ice-cold beer in hand, and good company.

Beth Cox

Santiago Diez del Pino

Something other might not know about me is that my grandma had 7 kids.. so I have 18 cousins only from my father side and 3 brothers and sisters! Spanish families are huge! What I really enjoy about my role is the fact that we face new challenges everyday and the feeling that we solve them by the end of every day. My biggest inspiration is to work on something that will last in time and people have the possibility to see and live with it. I’m very passionate about football and I enjoy watching matches with a cold beer. When I have more time, I like visiting new places around England. I am very curious about the future. So if I would be in any period of time and in any plane I would like to see what humanity is like in 1000 years!

Ryan Dyer

Travelling, photography and architecture are my passions so I’m happiest when I’m able to combine all three. I’m inspired by nature and the outdoors so I’m always looking for an opportunity to go on a hike. Outside of the office I’m either playing football, cooking or catching up on the latest “must-see” series with my wife. It surprises people when I tell them I’ve met Usain Bolt…twice actually! I thoroughly enjoy being part of the AM family as I grow alongside a team that invests in its workers and is committed to learning and development.

Ekom Ebong

I joined the Axis Mason London team as a Part II Architectural assistant shortly after receiving my master’s degree from the University of Kent. When not at work, you’d probably find me experimenting with interesting spatial concepts. That or trying to find a whiskey that was smoother than the last.

Jan Elert

I have re-joined Gdansk Studio after 8 years away. During this period I’ve been working for other local architectural practices and at building sites in Gdansk. After work, I love spending time with my kids and playing the drums.

Adam Elliott

I have been with Axis Mason for 4 years and really enjoy being a part of a growing team and working alongside great people. A round of golf followed by a pint of Tenants makes Adam a happy man.

Charlotte Freeley

I have been with Axis Mason since 2009 and work in the Jersey studio in the interiors department alongside Mark, Danm Anne-Marie, Lili and Reise. I really enjoy the freedom to design layouts and choose certain finishes for the client. Seeing something you have designed yourself in physical form is the most rewarding part! My mum inspires me the most, she's a superhuman! In my spare time I enjoy surfing, playing guitar, going to concerts and hanging out with friends on the beach. If I could be in any place and in any period of time it would have to be watching Queen at Wembley in 1986.

Anna Frej

I'm a part of Axis Mason Gdańsk team as a Studio Manager. With great pleasure everyday I organise the studio life and resolve any issues that come up. I'm sure that we can find inspirations everywhere, especially when our eyes are truly opened. When I have free time I like to back to my favorite books. If I have a chance I would like to go back to a time where there was no TV and mobiles.

Johan Geduld

Jennifer Graviou

Having joined Axis Mason summer 2019 I am looking forward to diving into projects and becoming part of the AM team. I have just completed my Part 2 Masters in Architecture at the University of Portsmouth having specialised in residential design and connections of landscape and architecture. In my spare time you will find me exploring the landscape on solid ground and out at sea with my camera by my side.

Sam Graviou

I joined Axis Mason in 2015 after completing my Part 1 Undergraduate and have just returned back to full time work after completing my Part 2 Masters. I enjoy working at every design stage and a variety of project types. Outside of work you will find me in, on or around the water (mainly the sea) or working on / fixing boats. As a water-activities instructor I also enjoy taking others out on the water to experience the thrills and sense of adventure.

Amy Hatch

I am an adventurous person who is always up for a new challenge, be it white water rafting, ziplining through forest canopies or skydiving. I feel very privileged to be part of such a diverse team of individuals who collectively are working towards making the built environment a more enjoyable space for ourselves and those around us. I am looking forward to getting submerged into the culture of what Axis Mason is all about. I am inspired by simple but beautiful things, be it in architecture or nature, and love to figure out how things work. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, sewing, and playing hockey.

Jo Kalkwarf

When I joined the team at Axis Mason it was clear I’d joined a young, dynamic and experienced practice where I instantly fitted in.  We are more of a family than five separate studios.  Along with being passionate about people, architecture, interiors, property and the built environment, I came to realise early on in my career the importance of communication and building relationships.  People and the human mind fascinate me and studying NLP enabled me to really appreciate this! Born in South Africa, my idea of the perfect holiday is lying on a beach with a cocktail in hand although I’m also an ardent appreciator of white powdery slopes!  I do yoga to relax, with daily headstands helping to keep me grounded and puts life in perspective.  Woods walking with my dog, entertaining and spending time with my family is the next best thing. 

Daniel Knowlton

I have worked in the Jersey office since leaving school in July 2008, and now work as part of the Interiors Team. I enjoy the broad range and number of projects we have to juggle in the interiors dept along with the client facing meetings. When I’m not working you may find me either, on the golf course, on my bicycle, in the gym or out socialising.

Fred Lewis

I am a Part 2 architectural assistant at the Jersey studio. I enjoy my role because I get to design work, watch the progress of different projects and see my drawings come to life. Being on top of a mountain with my skis, exploring city streets or Beauport beach on a hot sunny day are my favourite places to be! If I could be at any place at any time it would either be Manchester in the early 90s, Woodstock 1969 or Mars 2547.

Krzysztof Listopad

I joined Axis Mason in February 2016. I’m an architectural assistant in the Gdańsk Studio. After graduating in Architecture, I started studying Building Engineering, and I’m now in my final year. In the evenings or when I have free weekend you can find me riding bike in Gdańsk forest or along the seaside. However, my greatest passion are mountains, which I try to explore every summer.

Josh Le Maistre

Grant Manderson

I see myself as a versatile individual with a love for learning, the more I know the better. When it comes to architecture, I approach design in a comprehensive manner, as I feel everything is interconnected in some way or another. Joining the diverse and accomplished Axis Mason team, as a Part I, is an opportunity I never expected but always dreamt of. On my weekends, you will usually find me cracking a few “bezzas” with the boys while watching the footy in the comfort of my Liverpool jersey. I thoroughly enjoy spending my time outdoors, travelling, hiking and documenting it all through photography.

Maciej Markowski

Initially, I wanted to study physical education, I changed my mind three months before the exam. I really enjoy the exposure to all design stages, various project scales and sectors in my role with Axis Mason. Natural landscapes and good architecture inspires me most. In my spare time I like sport, movies and beach holidays. If I could be in any place in any period of time it would be Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, in present time.

Camila Martinez-Lisle

Originally from Canada, I moved to London to embark in a new adventure with the Axis Mason team. As a Landscape Architect, I believe we can create authentic environments for communities to engage in, while pushing the boundaries of our field. In my spare time, you can find me cycling long distances, finding inspiration in the many green spaces the city and its surroundings has to offer.

Michalina Masorz

I am really glad to be part of the Axis Mason family! Architecture and design have always been my main interests. Recently I have been mainly focusing on sustainable design and architecture. I spend my free time reading nonfiction literature, listening to ‘world music’ and developing my skills in vegetarian cuisine.

Tom McAviney

I returned to Jersey after qualifying and working in London. I have gained most experience in the residential sector, ranging from small private houses to large scale regeneration projects. I was attracted to Axis Mason for the wide variety of completed and ongoing projects and enjoy working as part of a team. Outside of work you can find me surfing, running and exploring Jersey’s beaches and coastline with my family.

Anthony McCall

Most enjoyable part of my job is the challenge and learning more about architecture. In my spare time I enjoy drawing portraits and building / landscape photography.

Kirsten McGregor

I joined Axis Mason a few years ago and never looked back, great people and constant new challenges. Out with architecture, I’m happiest climbing a mountain with my collies, enjoying good food and wine with friends or getting lost in new countries… (normally due to the wine!)

Aniela Migasiuk

I first joined Axis Mason in 2018 as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant and recently returned as a Part 2, following the completion of my Master’s degree at The Manchester School of Architecture. When not in the studio I like to take long walks and explore new places around London, go out with friends (or stay in with some cheese and wine), and visit friends and family on my island home of Guernsey.

Vibhushan Moodley

Hi I’m Vibhushan Moodley. I’m a recently qualified architect starting my professional journey at Axis Mason. Outside of the built environment I enjoy landscape photography and spend most of my weekends watching sport.

Fathima Mula

After some time away to complete my Part 2, it's been great returning to the AMD studio. The work I do here is challenging and rewarding, and there's plenty of opportunities for learning with the range of projects and projects stages I get to work on. Something that really inspires me is the intersection between architecture and other forms of media, like film and art. On weekends I'm usually catching up on time with family and finding new coffee shops to explore with my husband.

Yegasan Naicker

Also, better known as Gesan or Ges by family and friends. Besides Architecture, I have a strong love for fine art, still life drawing and canvas painting in particular. I also love the ocean and everything associated with it, from deep sea fishing trips to a relaxing day out to the beach.

Marcin Napiórkowski

What might surprise others about me is that I have about 150 pots with plants in my flat- my small jungle. My role at Axis Mason means that I have an influence on how most projects look like, which I enjoy. The nature around me inspires me most. In my spare time I enjoy jogging and if I could be in any place at any time it would be on some beach on a tropical island. 

Gavin O’Hara

Recently joined Axis Mason as an Architectural Assistant (Part 1), having studied Arch Technology and having a Joiner/Carpentry professional background. I'm happy I've found a placement with a team that has been so welcoming, willing to teach, and committed to aiding in my progression as an architect whilst getting the best out of me. I believe that good architecture is something to be appreciated by all walks of life. Where people have a personal connection to it, whether they are artistic, technical or sentimental. I'm interested in technology and believe it should be explored to possibly achieve the uncommon. I've recently got interested in drone photography, Using it to survey hard-to-reach areas of sites and create point clouds for accurate measurements. By the end of the year, I'm looking to invest in a handheld CNC machine with the ambition of making bespoke furniture. Last year I spontaneously purchased a Stand-up Paddle Board. It's the best thing I've ever done; any chance of a warm day and you'll find me in the Lochs along the West of Scotland with a portable BBQ and a few beers capturing a shot of a sunset.

Michał Okuniewski

I joined Axis Mason almost 3 years ago and it's one of the most inspiring experiences of my career. I like spending my free time with my family and close friends. Diving and mountain trekking are what I also like to do in my spare time.

Casey Parsons

I joined axis mason in 2016 and I've stuck around ever since, culminating in my qualification as a Part 2 architectural assistant in 2020, an educational development the team has always supported. A feature very few know about me is that I have the same wingspan as the majestic swan…beyond that I'm still working on the flying part. What I appreciate most about the role is the variety, creativity and knowledge that each day offers. It's the sort of role that's constantly evolving and always eventful. Away from the office, I enjoy exploring the historical hotspots of the UK and beyond, experiencing the cultural shifts it provides and drawing on them as a source of inspiration. If I could be in any place, it would be Italy during the renaissance, a great time for the evolution of design; I also reckon it's highly likely that me and Michelangelo would've got on swimmingly.

Gabriele Padriezaite

I strongly believe life should have a soundtrack! My library has something for every moment: mellow acoustics for an evening in; Fleetwood Mac and modern Jazz for a focused day at work; ‘best of Britney’ for a good spring cleaning; and endless punk-rock supply for an all-night dance and sing-a-long party.

Dorota Piekarska-Mazur

I have been an Architect at Axis Mason since 2008, with a break for maternity leave. I’m enjoying working at our Gdansk Studio, with the ability of sharing positive energy with our 4 other Axis Mason Studios. I believe in having a good quality of life, that’s why being optimistic and patient are both things I carry with me every day.

Chris Reardon

After almost 9 gap years in London followed by 13 years working for myself in South Africa, I rather suddenly found myself working for Axis Mason. I’m enjoying working in a team again, as well as the different challenges of a new work environment. I like to find creative solutions - architecture and life provide plenty of opportunities for that. When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with family and friends, travelling, coaching/playing water polo (badly) and gardening.

Anna Robertson

Aleksandra Roguszewska

I’m an architectural assistant at the Axis Mason Gdańsk studio. I believe that architectural design has significant influence on people's lives and that makes my work meaningful. In my spare time, you can usually find me somewhere cozy, cuddled up with a cup of tea and a good book.

Mona Schoonbee

Interior Architect originally from South Africa. I’m inspired by the diverse architectural spaces that Jersey owns and I’m driven by the possibility of transforming dilapidated spaces into new improved spaces for people to enjoy. Outside the office I appreciate the art of good food and the stunning outdoors. If I had to live in any place at any time- the best time to live is right now.

Martin Smith

I came to Jersey in 2004 so I have committed the majority of my career to designing buildings on the island at all stages, from feasibility to completion, across a broad range of sectors. My aim is to do the best job I can for the client, user and wider environment which often requires a lot of very hard work and determination to make a project a success. Not much will distract me from the task at hand! Local sport, music, travel and DIY fills my spare time.

Connor Sorley

I joined Axis Mason in 2021 as a young architectural technologist with a great passion for architecture and detailing. I look forward to my career with Axis Mason as I develop my learning and understanding of construction/architecture within a hardworking environment. Anytime out of work is spent socializing with friends & family, participating with a kickboxing team, attending football matches and the occasional drink.

Salena Yusuf

I used to do cross country many years ago, although I haven't dare to try again recently. When it comes to my job, I enjoy that every day is different and presents new opportunities for learning. I also enjoy being able to assist others in the studio with their Revit challenges. I'm inspired by the need to make a positive difference, no matter how big or small it may be. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading a good book or attempting a new recipe. It could be the influence of my high school art teacher, but I think it would be great to experience the Renaissance period. It being a time of great scientific, artistic, philosophical and technological developments that have impacted out modern world.

Cameron van Willingh

Hello, I am Cameron. Grateful to have joined such a dynamic team here at Axis Mason. I'm passionate about creating and designing ergonomic spaces. Outside of work I enjoy an ice cold beer or two, meat on the braai while surrounded by friends and family. My favourite place to be is in the ocean, spearfishing.

Marcin Witosławski

I joined Axis Mason in 2012 after graduating from Gdańsk University of Technology. Thing I most enjoyed from that time is the variety of the project scales - from small village cottages to huge hotel resorts. When I’m not at work, you will find me playing board games with my friends or watching a good movie… But what I’m always waiting for most is an opportunity to go sailing!

Katy Wolfe
