As a Registered Architect with international presence I consider myself a nimble and highly adaptive individual maximizing available resources no matter how small or large they are. My background has made me a decision maker driven by data analysis and experience.
My expertise is in residential and commercial design, construction administration and management, design analysis and development, construction documentation, material specification, and on-site construction supervision.
I’m a manager who provides innovative solutions to complex and novel situations leading by example through the creation and implementation of training programs and coaching staff and management ensuring consistent methodologies. I’m experienced in high-end projects, specializing in envelope design and forensics.
I apply both traditional and cutting edge 3D modeling techniques to the architectural design process. I’m very passionate in planning strategies, use of space and design presentations. I’m a professional deeply committed to the highest standards of ethics and personal excellence.
I relish in research, education as well as a contributor to several international architectural publications.
I am a team leader skilled in navigating organizational complexity and collaborating with cross-functional teams and key stakeholders. I utilize coaching and mentoring to deliver unique client experiences.
I adopt a strategic approach to align organizational goals and timelines with optimized budgets. I love to mentor new talent, and the establishment of high-performing agile cultures.
