I am a motivated and resourceful designer with over 8 years of experience on high-end residential, retail and civic projects, working in collaborative studio environments as well as independently. Additionally, I have a background in urban planning and community led design which is a subject of great interest to me. Furthermore, I have experience in the construction industry as a construction services coordinator for a large geotechnical and civil engineering firm.
In addition to architectural design and urban planning, I have experience in graphic design and writing. As editor and assistant editor, I collaborated with a number of people to design layouts for multiple books, and written articles in print and online magazines.
Strong experience with design software tools such as Adobe Creative suit, Revit, ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, Sketchup and Rhino. Nevertheless, I really enjoy analog means of communication such as sketching and model making.
I play football (the European kind) and like to maintain a healthy routine.
