About 

I am a graduate architect with experience in multi-residential, commercial, and community centers architectural projects, working through all stages of the design process and managing different projects independently including creating ideas, producing technical drawings, and reports, preparing detailed documentation, and specifications, and ensuring project compliance with design codes and regulations while collaborating directly with clients, stakeholders, and team.

I got strong abilities in architecture and design software such as Revit, Autocad, and Adobe Creative, creating 2D and 3D models and design presentations to illustrate ideas to communicate to clients and stakeholders, and interested in getting more experience, including learning new software.

My strongest interpersonal skills are leadership, involving effective decision-making, incorporating empathy and patience to make decisions; teamwork, involving communication active listening, flexibility, and responsibility; adaptability, willing to relocate or adapt to changes; problem-solving and productivity within a workplace; and work ethic, such as loyalty and commitment.

To be updated in the industry and get new skills, I am studying for a Diploma in Interior Design at the Australian Pacific College where I have been learning about Australian regulations and national codes, quotes and contracts, suppliers, finishes and technology, and other software such as SketchUp and V-ray.

My degree is recognized by the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia as a bachelor’s degree with Honours, and a master’s degree in architecture, comparable to an accredited professional Architecture qualification from a recognized School of Architecture in Australia.

If you are interested in my profile or have any inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact me.
