I have experience in construction administration and documentation of high-profile tech workplaces, working as a Project Architect at HLW International in NYC, a leading firm in innovative workplace design. I also have experience in larger institutional work with EHDD, a San Francisco firm renowned for their net-zero projects and numerous COTE Top Ten awards.
I have extensive construction documentation and administration skills, from submittal and shop drawing review, to site visits, team meetings, and trade coordination. I have experience on all phases of construction, taking projects from early design phases through construction administration, including punchlisting and project closeout. I currently serve as the Project Architect on several projects ranging up to 100,000 SF.
I am very proficient in Revit, Newforma, Sketchup, AutoCAD, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, and have experience creating and drafting construction document sets and detail drawings. I am also highly involved in workplace culture, working as a staff advocate at EHDD, the office wellness group and technical group at HLW, as well as leading HLW's staff licensure group.
I am a licensed architect in New York State, pursuing further licensure in California.

EHDD, San Francisco, CA, US, Designer
EHDD is a Bay Area firm specializing in institutional and cultural projects, with a strong emphasis on net-zero design and sustainable practices. The firm is nationally recognized with the AIA Gold Medal, as well as several COTE Top Ten awards.
At EHDD I have spent most of my time working on a very complex 70,000 square-foot courthouse project. The work has been both challenging and educational, as I have been a part of every aspect of the project from schematic design through late CDs; from conceptual plan layouts through detailed security and AV/telecom consultant coordination. I have played a strong role as the designer and coordinator of the interior public spaces, with great focus placed on the courtrooms and lobby. From materials and patterning through casework design and construction detailing, I’ve been required to be adept in my approach, and the result is a burgeoning understanding of the whole architectural design process.
