For more than 5 years, I have been working in the architectural, interior, retail and exhibit design fields, most recently with Ismael Leyva Architects PC. One particularly challenging project was to integrate an existing hospital (The Beacon) with a historical façade, add a new entrance building and preserve the historical characteristics of the building, with the vision proposed by the Project Architect, Engineers, Historical Preservation Board and the owner of the building. I prepared the detailed technical CAD drawings, resolved the design discrepancies on the basis of appropriate building codes and on-site investigation. My previous employer was very pleased that I was able to exceed the expectations of the owner. I am flexible with different fields of construction.
