I am an architectural graduate with a Master’s degree in Architecture from Lund University in Sweden, originally from Iceland and now based in Sarasota, Florida. With nearly five years of experience in architecture and six months in graphic design, I specialize in leveraging advanced technology and digital methodologies to optimize design processes. My expertise in computational design, BIM implementation, and digital fabrication enables me to create complex geometries and streamline workflows efficiently.
Collaboration has been a cornerstone of my career. I have contributed to diverse projects by utilizing cutting-edge tools to deliver innovative yet practical design solutions that align with client goals and project visions.
I am particularly inspired by the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in architecture. By integrating AI, data analytics, and environmental performance simulations, I aim to enhance decision-making, optimize energy efficiency, and explore new possibilities in design. This passion for innovation drives me to continuously push boundaries in pursuit of sustainable and forward-thinking solutions.
I am excited about the future of architecture and the role of technology in shaping it. With a positive and solutions-driven mindset, I am eager to bring my skills and passion to projects that value creativity, sustainability, and innovation.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and, drawing inspiration from diverse cultures and environments.
WJ Architects, Sarasota, FL, US, Architectural Designer
At WJ Architects, I contributed to a range of community-driven projects as an Architectural Designer. My responsibilities included developing and refining comprehensive construction documents, ensuring precision and alignment with project goals. I played an active role in construction administration by preparing RFIs, reviewing submittals, and coordinating interior finishes. Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and clients, I helped deliver integrated architectural solutions that met both aesthetic and functional objectives. This experience honed my ability to manage complex projects and maintain design intent throughout all phases of development.
Architecture Incorporated, Sioux Falls, SD, US, Architectural Graduate
At Architecture Inc., I contributed to various phases of the design process, including schematic design, design development, and the creation of detailed sets of coordinated design and construction drawings. I collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to deliver comprehensive architectural solutions, ensuring that all aspects of the project were seamlessly integrated.
My role involved conducting site visits and supporting construction administration tasks to verify adherence to the design intent. Additionally, I developed a digital material and asset library, streamlining design processes and enhancing visual communication.
Lund University, Lund, SE, MArch, Architecture
My studies at Lund University’s Master's Programme in Architecture focused on addressing contemporary architectural challenges such as environmental issues, urban trade patterns, segregation, and housing shortages. This future-focused program equipped me with innovative approaches to design, combining architectural and theoretical methods with advanced research. Located in the dynamic Copenhagen–Malmö region, the program provided access to extensive resources and expertise. My education included both theoretical and hands-on projects, international collaboration, and engagement with local professionals through workshops, critiques, and public exhibitions. The program emphasized designing meaningful, complex spaces and using architectural design to address social, economic, ecological, and cultural perspectives.
