About 

I am a California-licensed Architect with 6 years of experience on civic, commercial, education, healthcare, hospitality and residential projects. I have also worked on every phase of the architectural services, from preparing materials in response to Requests for Proposal, developing an idea in Schematic Design to producing Construction Documents and Contract Administration. Understanding that being an architect demands versatility and a broad set of distinct skills, I have continuously sought new ideas and perspectives, software, techniques and processes that enable me to be a better designer.
