About 

I grew up in the working in construction and have always loved the idea of how things are put together. I started off in school as a Graphic Design student. I had a great passion for art and being creative. As I continued on in my first year of college, I decided that I would be much happier taking my love for building and drawing and put them to use as an Architectural Designer. I finished my certification on November of 2013 and have been working as a Fire Protection Designer for a little over a year now. I love traveling to job sites and seeing the way huge projects come together and being part of it. I would love to expand my knowledge into Architecture as a professional Designer or Drafter with a future interest in Project Management. One of my favorite things about design is architectural visualization, 3D rendering, and BIM. I became proficient in programs such as AutoCAD, Revit and Chief Architect.
