I have always been fascinated with the way architecture connects with our daily lives and want to be a part of this wonderful phenomenon. Since moving to this city I always believed that New York was much more than just Manhattan, living in Brooklyn proves that point even further. I hope that through this position I can participate in evolving the city as it very much needs to.
I have many characteristics I believe are beneficial to your firm. Throughout my education I have been exposed to a variety of design tools. Aside from my innovative design intellect, I have also acquired tactile skills such as drafting, model making, and 3D digital modeling and rendering. Through my experience in New York I have also acquired knowledge of New York City's building codes. I have gained experience in the manner of which New York architecture is approached and brought to life in more ways than just conceptually but in all aspects of design from schematic design to detailing.
