Steve Ashton was the co- founder of Ashton Raggatt McDougall (ARM Architecture).
As a career architect, Steve undertook a Graduate Diploma of Business Administration at Swinburne to upskill with what he needed to help operate his business at a high-level and work on prominent urban design projects of the highest architectural quality.
