Connor joined Designgroup Stapleton Elliott’s Tauranga studio in 2025. At the heart of his passion for architecture is storytelling. He believes narrative plays a vital role in design, helping to weave meaning into projects and strengthen the relationships between people and their built environments.

Before joining DGSE, Connor gained experience in both architecture and architectural visualisation, contributing to a wide range of projects, from large-scale commercial developments and fit-outs to residential new builds and extensions.

With a strong background in visualisation, Connor has developed a keen eye for detail. Combined with his interest in storytelling, this enables him to craft engaging imagery that brings design concepts to life and allows audiences to immerse themselves in the process.
