About 

I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo last year, majoring in Architecture. While going to school, I was also interning at various architect offices such as WATG, SPF:a, WTARCH. These opportunities helped me to understand the design process in a professional office and gave me the chance to grow my skills in Rhino, Revit, and digital rendering.

In fact, I have always had a great passion for architecture. I started drawing and making physical models since I was in middle school, and I believe my craftsman skills developed from there.

I define myself as a creative, self-motivated, and reliable person. I am a hard worker. I always believe in producing high quality work, and it is shown in my portfolio.
