Ko Jade tōku ingoa. Nō Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Whakaue, me Te Whakatōhea āhau.

I am an architectural/urban designer, researcher and housing advocate. As well as being, the founder and director of Matakohe Architecture and Urbanism - a kaupapa Māori design studio with offices in Whangārei and Tāmaki Makaurau, I am also a part-time lecturer at Huri Te Ao, the School of Future Environments at AUT.

My interests include decolonisation, the re-establishment of papakāinga / kāinga, indigenising urban spaces through kaupapa Māori urban design, and mobilising effective responses to Māori housing and homelessness issues.
