About 

As a Senior Designer/ Job Captain I have experience in single and multifamily projects, retail and commercial, collaborating with clients, consultants, and contractors to deliver high-quality and sustainable solutions. I use my skills in AutoCAD, Revit, Adobe products, and rendering software to create innovative and realistic designs, and to communicate my vision and ideas effectively.

I have a Bachelor of Architecture degree from New School of Architecture and Design, and I also studied architecture at East Los Angeles College. I am passionate about architecture and design, and I constantly seek to learn new skills and tools to enhance my creativity and productivity. I enjoy working in a team environment, where I can contribute to the success of the projects and the organization, and where I can grow as a professional and as a person.
