Justin graduated with his undergraduate degree from The University of Nottingham where he developed a particular interest for inclusive-mixed use and modular architecture. This led to his final year thesis project looking at how different use types within the same scheme can bring a fractured community closer together.

Justin joined Jo Cowen after working for Atkins, where he gained experience working on residential and commercial high-rise schemes as part of a multidisciplinary team. Last summer he was involved in a canal restoration and construction project, providing him with hands on knowledge of the construction industry.
