About 

I am a versatile architectural designer with 5+ years experience in design build firms. I consistently shift between architectural designer and construction manager which has lead to a unique understanding of how designs can be facilitated. Areas of experience include high end residential, commercial and institutional projects at various stages, gaining and adding to existing knowledge. Strengths include independently pursuing solutions as well as balancing multiple projects through various platforms and software. 

 in my free time I enjoy working on my car, exploring whatever city I am living in on foot and producing artwork across a number of mediums from acrylic plastic to 35mm photography.
