Tim 'Rosso' Ross is an award winning comedian, design enthusiast, presenter and writer. 

Tim began his career performing stand-up comedy as part of the comedy duo Merrick and Rosso. More recently he is best known for his passion for architecture and design, presenting the award winning ABC TV series Streets of Your Town, which quickly became the most watched arts program on the ABC for the year.

Tim has passionately supported the architecture industry, with particular focus on fighting alongside the community on the ‘Save Our Sirius’ campaign. In 2018 Ross was awarded the National Trust Heritage Award for Advocacy, for his activism on modernist architecture and promoting its conservation.

Tim recently spoke at the opening of the London Design Museum, gave the Heritage Council Address and was a keynote speaker at the Culture of Lates Symposium in London.
