About 

I am an experienced architect with several decades of experience in the US as well as Europe, holding various roles such as design architect and project manager. I have worked on a number of large scales projects, I covered roles as Team Lead for areas or responsibility that included design of infrastructural components, retail and public spaces, consultant coordination in all disciplines, life safety and code compliance, planning approval and conformity, preparation of Memoranda of Understanding, and Consultant Agreements, assembling Design Teams for new job proposals and assisting the preparation of fee proposal, schedules and project staffing. I also assisted in preparation of marketing materials and editing copy for submissions. I have spent most of my 7years working on large complex multi-use projects with many interlocking and complex components. I am accustomed to working closely with the firm leaders in accomplishing both design and projects goals. Working with younger staff and building a collaborative and creative team environment is one of the most satisfying aspects of a project.
