In all my years as a designer and project manager, teamwork is the big thing that is and will always be present in my professional environment..

My experience entails a variety of projects such as K-12 Schools, Restaurants, Hospitality, Multi-Family and Student Housing, Mixed Use, Commercial Retail, and Single Family Homes.
