Hello
Mies Van der Rohe once said, "God is in the details." One thing that drew me to design is my passion for details. I have always been interested in how things are put together. How are the different parts distinct? How do they connect? And perhaps the most important question is: how do the parts make up a unified whole? Through observation of nature or assembled objects, I try to let a study and discovery of the relationships of the parts to each other and the whole inform the process of my design.
As a passionate and motivated professional, I’m constantly striving to improve my techniques, expand my skillset and find new opportunities to grow. Each of my projects - both solo and collaborative - have provided this growth and allowed me to establish myself within this competitive industry. Please enjoy my portfolio, and feel free to get in touch with any questions.
About Me
With nine years of experience in architectural design, I have acquired a strong foundation of visualization skills in drafting, 3D modeling, and graphic representation. I have been involved in all phases of design and construction from feasibility study through construction administration. My primary role has been to provide support for the project manager and project architect on building projects of various scales throughout the projects. Working closely with the project team, I was responsible for creating 2D and 3D diagrams, design options, and presentation graphics to illustrate spatial relationships and design implications.
