I'm a designer who thinks like an engineer. I believe in providing clients with logical and functional spaces while maintaining artistic and creative ideas. I know from my experience as a project manager, the client is a critical factor. When you are a designer, you must flirt with the line of what the client wants and your design concepts. My goal is for my body of work to be artistic, powerful, but most importantly, affordable. I am inquisitive. I am not afraid to ask questions because it is essential to the networking process of the construction industry. I use my conceptual ideas for inspiration and bring them into reality with accuracy and precision. I love collaborative work that provides open communication and opportunities for growth. I work hard and learn fast. My artistic background enables me to seek out the details to connect to the bigger picture. My love for volunteering drives my primary career goal: to be a part of a firm that designs for low-income neighborhoods and third world countries to provide schools, hospitals, commercial spaces, and affordable housing. I want to use architectural design to rebuild communities that yield economic growth.
