I'm a recent M.Arch graduate from the accredited Architecture program at Virginia Tech University. My undergraduate degree is in Interior design and photography from San Jose State University, California. I am a dynamic and ambitious designer with sufficient experience in various projects involving residential, historical preservation, commercial, retail, institutional development, corporate and hospitality facilities.
I am coming from a diverse background, both culturally and educationally. During the past ten years I have been studying, travelling, and working in different parts of the world and collected sufficient knowledge about different cultures and experienced the life and architecture of various regions first hand. I am a U.S. citizen and currently I’m living in the bay area. I am willing to relocate to the Sacramento region.
Prior to and while studying at Virginia Tech University, I have worked in several nationally and internationally well known design and architecture firms. I am adept at carrying out a wide variety of design and development project, and readily conceptualize new ideas as needed. The scope of my experience includes but not limited to creating conceptual designs, developing architectural drawings using hand and computer drafting methods, generating detailed construction drawings and specifications.
I posses impeccable design technical and computer skills with advanced knowledge of Auto Cad, Microsoft Office , Adobe Photoshop, Premier, InDesign, Illustrator, and Sketch Up. Also I have intermediate knowledge of Revit, Rhino, and Grasshopper with general understanding of 3D Studio Max. Also, I have an outstanding graphic design and digital photography skills.
My attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills ensure that every project I work on is done accurately and to the highest standard. I am comfortable working as part of a team but also have the ability to take an authoritative role when the situation arises. My verbal communication skills and positive attitude make me an effective communicator with all clients I work with.
