Tim brings a level of management learnt through working in the automotive world where he ran Porsche Carrera Cup teams.

Jason-Martino

After finishing top of his Landscape Design class at the industry leading Ryde College, Jason quickly found his feet in the field taking a position at a Sydney based company as the face of their residential design sector. Jason spent the first three years of his career here learning all stages of the design process. In 2016, Jason set off to travel Europe and work abroad. His travel plans focused around visiting gardens and parklands, admiring local architecture, honing his skills in landscape photography, but most of all visiting London’s Chelsea Flower Show. This is where Charlie and Jason first crossed paths, as Charlie displayed his second consecutive show garden at the prestigious event. On Jason’s return home, he reached out to Inspired Exteriors in hope of a new challenge gaining employment for a leading design and construct company to further his development in the industry. The timing was right for both and took up a position in the growing design sector of Inspired Exteriors.
