About 

Greetings,

My name is Oscar and currently work at Greeley and Hansen as an Architectural Designer. As a designer my tasks are to do code research on various projects, schematic design analysis, BIM Modeling, Construction Documents, RFP, review submittals and shop drawings, respond to RFI's, Marketing Renderings, etc. 

Recently completed my Architectural Studies from The Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). Graduated with honors and with a specialization in Landscape Architecture. In addition and my years as a student and also a professional I have learned the challenges of architecture. The reason I chose this profession and why I am so passionate about it, is because I like to make a difference in my neighborhood and around the world. I like how architecture impacts the way people live. I think everyone in this world deserves to live healthy and safe. Architecture for me has opened my eyes to see and explore new ways of designing for people.
