I am a Designer with an Architecture and Urban Design background.
My interest is to work for an architectural firm where I can apply my knowledge in hospitality, high end residence, and commercial architectural projects. I can bring a project from the schematic design to the construction document phases. I am a multitasker, fast learner, and can handle different projects at the same time. I am able to work under pressure, and I enjoy working on a collaborative environment.
