About 

I am a licensed Architect in the states of Illinois and Maryland. I have over 15 years of professional experience thus far, which has ranged from national retail projects, fitness clubs, and municipal building renovation, to multi-family and single-family residential architecture, site surveying, construction administration, project management and even hands-on construction.

I am proficient in computer aided design using Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
