Biography
I am a designer of public attractions and historic venues. My Fellowship was about interacting with the public, with a focus on how people think in various countries and learning how to appeal to a broad spectrum of visitors to public attractions.
Billions have seen what I have done on television, and my input to the national garden festivals has been immense. We have only had one International Garden Festival and I won Premier Prize with the Beatles Maze. Brand name reinforcement for Christian Aid led to a feature garden at Hampton Court Flower Show, seen by a billion people on television worldwide.
Much of what I have learned is in my book, PRDS: Paradise, The Secret Garden, which empowers people to discover more to enrich their lives and work.
