Even is a Senior Architectural Graduate in DGSE’s Auckland Studio. He brings extensive architectural experience from across Aotearoa, having worked on a wide range of project types, including Commercial, Education, Bespoke Residential, Multi-Unit Housing, and Heritage Building Conservation.

A highly collaborative team player, Even contributes across all project phases, from concept design through to documentation, consenting to site observation. This extensive experience has sharpened his design skills and his understanding of how design quality paves the way for successful project delivery.

Passionate about human-centred architecture, Even combines research with practical experience. He co-authored published research into school Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE), exploring how buildings perform for the people who use them, and recently designed and built his own home. These experiences have deepened his understanding of balancing design ambition with the realities of construction, ensuring the needs of end users remain central throughout the design process.
