Evidence

’Rich has a gentle and steady energy which wins the trust of those around him. He can therefore engage with a range of people in order to consult with them. His thoughtful approach results in work that is quirky, but clearly rooted in the area in which he is working.’

Helga Henry, Director, Creative SHIFT (formerly Fierce Earth)
