Recently moved from Miami to New York, I have a background in architecture, as well as skills in photography, furniture design and assembly, and graphics.
I've made it a design ideology to focus on details and honest clear designs. Skilled with Rhino, AutoCAD, and the Adobe software, I'm able to communicate through sketches as well as rendered samples.
Worked for a small design firm, I've experienced handling multiple hats, such as design process, mockup presentations, sales position, upkeep and studio maintenance, product branding, and photographic shooting for website presentation, as well as distribution of furniture and materials.
Through architecture school I developed a keen eye for aesthetics and balanced design, as well as many skills such as photoshop, illustrator, and even publishing skills with InDesign. I'm certified in CAD drawing and 3D modeling, and as a hobby, I do photography which has lead to some publications on FAB.com, and some campaigns. I work as a team player with a balance on assertiveness and patience. I can meet steep deadlines; I aim to please.

Miami Dade College, Miami, FL, US, Architecture
Throughout my time in Miami Dade college, we were essentially re-programed into thinking more analytically and approaching architecture with a mind that can visualize the manifestation of cultural, technological, and artistic achievement and turn it into architecture. Utilizing analytical reasoning together with a theoretical methodology were the foundations that were instilled in to the curriculum. Rigorous academic challenges were placed to further expand the collective knowledge in our academic understanding of architecture. This portfolio is the culmination of my time spent in Miami Dade College.
