During my years as a Director in a Belfast architectural practice three of us set up in 1986, we designed a wide range of building types located mainly in Ireland.

I enjoyed the variety of challenge and always saw my work as service and worship.

Starting now as UK Director in EMI, I’m excited to highlight this work in the UK among Christian professionals and students.

And I believe there are many in the wider church community who could catch the vision of good design coupled with discipleship, bringing hope around the world.

I love the verse in Psalm 147 that speaks of the Lord ‘delighting’ in us, as we seek to serve and follow Him.

May you know His ‘delight’ as you serve Him and bring hope wherever you are. 
 

Growing up, I’ve always had a desire to serve the community in some way.

2 Corinthians 5:9 holds a special place in my life. We love Him because He first loved us, we serve Him because He first served us.

It’s astonishing how God works. I never imagined myself working at an architecture and engineering company. 

I first joined EMI as a business intern and currently I’m the first Cambodian fellow. Looking back on the past 2 years, I know I have grown spiritually and professionally.

The kindness and patience demonstrated in the office to nourish young professionals is a tangible gift of God’s love and grace.

It extended to me, and I intend to pass on this grace to make God more “visible” in the world we live in.
