I've worked on small residential projects and large campuses; with small companies like Oikos and large companies like SWA. I have a knack for design and enjoy creating 3D Models, Photoshop renderings and colorful image boards to present ideas to the client. I have managed over 30 projects, and am confident of my ability to handle multiple projects with ease.
