About 

I am a young, licensed Architect. Professionally, I am interested in environmentally sustainable and affordable design, gaining experience in design-build projects and building my project management and leadership experience. I am highly detail-oriented, and pride myself on my strong written and verbal communication abilities, as well as my ability to bridge between the creative and technical aspects of architectural design.
