About 

As a designer and aspiring architect, I strive to improve on how I design and how I work. I bring with me an excellent work ethic, LEED training and accreditation, essential field experience and a willingness to learn to a take criticism. I also have a very strong background in Revit and sketchup as well as incredible comfort in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I continually adapt my views on design and will always be punctual and professional with my work. Regardless of the task or tasks given, I will work as hard as I can to finish them on time and with minimal errors.
