I'm an Architectural Designer with residential, commercial, and public design experience. My residential projects range from high-end single family to multifamily townhouses and condominiums.
I use my knowledge of building materials and color composition in the material selection process creating color boards for a visual aide.
Technical aspects of design ranging from building codes, Reschecks, vent calculations to detail drawings and construction documents I am experienced with.
I have worked on all levels of design from concept to creation. One of my favorite steps is using visual programs like Sketchup, Photoshop and Illustrator to bring a project to life.
