To be part of group of professionals that will allow me to apply my skills, creativity and passion for design to fulfill the project and firm’s needs and goals. 

                       Expertise in design and imaging software such as AutoCAD, Revit, Sketchup Pro, Artlantis, Enscape, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator

As a 3-dimensional thinker I use my strong hand drawing and technical skills that allow for immediate/on the spot changes based on clients’ and consultants’ feedback.

Fast learner and flexible so I can adapt to the ever-changing needs and team. Like to think in a broader/ holistic way but always remembering the detail nature of what we do.
