James completed his master’s at Oxford Brookes and returned to Apt as a Part II in 2023. James finished his undergraduate in 2019 and first joined a small London practice, Donne Silver Kerr, where he worked for 12 months on a range of small-scale projects before moving to Apt in 2020.

Since re-joining Apt, James has worked on a number of projects, including the final stages of the Hill House planning process, and two residential projects for Elysian Residences.

During his master's, James specialized in Urban Design for his first year, testing his master planning skills in Oxford and Dubai. Following this, his final year thesis focused on a highly theoretical future climate change scenario and how, through changes to our built environment, we can avoid the theoretical becoming a reality.

Outside of work, James spends his time making the most of the outdoors and enjoys hiking around the UK, as well as cycling when he gets the chance. He has also recently been investigating the world of 3D printing in his spare time, designing and printing his own designs.
