About 

I am a talented and dedicated architectural designer seeking employment in the Chicago area, nationwide or abroad. I have experience working on projects across multiple scales and disciplines worldwide including developments in New Delhi, Chicago, Dubai, Haifa, Mecca, Amsterdam, London and Panama City. I am also interested in working on local projects in American cities.

I have a strong, diverse set of skills and a true passion for architecture. I am looking for a creative and multidisciplinary work environment where I can apply my energy and vision to create great places for people through design.
