I have years of experience in design development and construction documents, as well as a few years in interior design, sustainable design and urban planning.
I have obtained a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and a Master of Architecture with a Concentration in Sustainable Design, from Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan. Working with a variety of different people and opinions, has allowed me to become team orientated. My experience has also enhanced the quality of my design development knowledge and communication skills. I am always seeking to enhancing myself as a professional and pursuing my architectural license.
