My name is Alexander Guzman and I graduated with a B. Arch from Syracuse University in 2015 and have been working in New York City the last four years. I believe with my interests, skills, and background in digital design, fabrication, and community development I could be a valuable addition to your office.
I am looking to contribute my skills to a collaborative team environment and creative workspace.
