I'm an ambitious designer, a diligent worker, and one with a vivacious apatite for learning. My design experience ranges from a small carport to working on an HOK design team on an aerospace city for his royal highness of Qatar and an eclectic mix of projects in between. I’ve worked on projects in all phases from conceptual to, to digging foundations and finish carpentry, but I can't wait to learn a lot more on everything on detailing and design and everything else in-between.
