With a Bachelors of Architecture degree from the University of Southern California (Class of 2020), I am a licensed Architect in California and a Lead Green Associate with over four years of experience working in high-end residential, hospitality, commercial, and affordable housing. My expertise includes project management, design, construction documentation, construction administration, and hands-on site coordination, where I collaborate closely with contractors to ensure that design intent is maintained through each phase. I am proficient in Revit, AutoCAD, and Adobe Creative Suite, enabling me to create precise technical drawings and compelling presentations that effectively communicate design concepts. My background has provided me with a strong understanding of building assemblies, local codes, and sustainable design practices, which I bring to every project with a focus on quality and adaptability.
