Having trained at the Architectural Association in London, he worked briefly with his father, the renowned interior designer David Hicks (1929-1998), before founding his own practice. Throughout his career, Hicks has turned his talents to furniture and fabric design, undertaken many large-scale architectural and interior design projects, and authored numerous books on the subject.
