About 

I am a licensed architect in the Philippines. I have more than 8 years of diversified experience in the field of architecture and interior design. I am currently working as technical designer in a luxury kitchen/bedroom/bathroom design and furniture company based in midtown Manhattan with a headquarter in UK. I used to work from different countries such as Bahrain, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and Philippines. With solid experience internationally, I am confident that I can be of good service to the next company I will be working for.

My experience in architectural/interior design project participation ranges from a low-cost to a billion US dollar cost of project (low rise to complex hise-rise buildings). The type of projects I participated includes:

  • Hospitality (hotels, casino, entertainment, restaurants, bars)
  • Commercial (retails, services, offices)
  • Residential (apartments, townhouses, condominiums, single detach, subdivisions)
  • Educational (library, museum, school lobby, school gym and locker rooms, faculty lounge)
  • Industrial (factory buildings, warehouse)
  • Religious (monasteries, temples, columbariums)
  • Exhibition Center
  • Public/Governmental (revitalization of towns, urban planning)
  • Mixed Use

I am proficient in the use of the following significant softwares:

  • AutoCAD
  • SketchUP
  • Vray Plugins
  • 3D max
  • Photoshop
  • MS Office applications
  • and some other photo/video editing softwares...

Aside from generating drawings thru the use of computer, I can also draw manually (by hand sketch) especially during the schematic design phase of the project.

I can work with minimum supervision and at the same time can work well in collaborative environment. I am good at problem solving and meticulous to ensure all statutory requirements are met. I am flexible and easy to deal with.
