About 

I am:

  • a firm believer in honesty without cruelty, the restorative and uplifting powers of a good book, chairs that offer excellent back support, and of buildings that enhance and improve rather than impose upon the habits of how people live.
  • currently seeking to return to the architecture profession, become licensed, and work on spaces and places that are exciting and fulfilling, always with an eye towards making a positive impact on the environment and being cost-effective. 

I have:

  • 3.5 years of experience.
  • Autocad, Revit, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, hand rendering, laser cutting, film and digital photography, and model making skills.
  • complete fluency in Spanish and English, and currently learning German.
  • dogged determination and meticulous attention to detail.
  • a continuous desire to learn.

You have:

  • the need to add a new member to your team who is in possession of the above mentioned skills,  who is also easy to get along with as well as a decent person.

Do you think we're a good match? If so, contact me! I'm currently looking for new opportunities, and am able to relocate. 

Hope to hear from you!
