Colin’s background is in architectural studies and he holds a masters in Art History and Theory and a PhD relating the social impact of HIV on communities in the UK.
Colin worked across various housing and construction related roles, including delivering social housing and community buildings as part of the Halsall Lloyd Partnership of architecture in Liverpool, at the Race & Housing research project in the University of Manchester, and working on challenging estates in North Liverpool as part of the social housing provider Cobalt Housing.
At Wrexham Glyndŵr University, the Built Environment team Colin is part of has delivered housing strategy across North Wales and down to the South Wales Valleys; and he has spoken on issues ranging from anti-social behaviour to tackling issues relating to the sustainable use of resources at national and international events.

Colin is currently working on projects relating to building information modelling, housing stock conditions, and developing new material relating to architectural visualisation, and conflict & architecture.
Outside of the University, Colin is an avid urban walker, creating posts about architectural design he hopes friends and students enjoy, and lives with three ragdoll cats, who like to fall asleep anywhere in the house he is.
