After working in China for three years, I am seeking to align myself with a firm that is poised for growth in domestic and international project expertise. My excellent qualifications and continuing desire to excel in this industry make me uniquely qualified for this position.

My goal is to find an opportunity where my skills with design software, international experience, and architectural acumen can benefit your company and my long-term growth.
Here are a few of my outstanding qualifications:
Poignant design and problem solving skills with the ability to adapt to various working and design environments, as well as, shifting project priorities
Excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills, with the adaptability and experience to work with different cultural and language settings
High capacity to work cross computer platforms to design, create, produce in the latest versions of adobe suite, AutoCAD, Rhino, and SketchUp
Experience working in various countries on commercial, residential, civic, infrastructural projects that range from the scale of a small nightclub to a large scale masterplan
