About 

My 5 years of experience have given me a diverse understanding of architecture, master planning, interiors and construction. I have grown to be a dedicated Designer focused on project task management, team organization and client satisfaction. I am skilled at juggling many tasks, while communicating efficiently with all internal and external members of a project team. Beyond the management skills I have learned, I am extremely passionate in crafting captivating spaces that resonate with clients, ensuring their enjoyment and satisfaction.

Working at Robin Nanney Studio has afforded me the invaluable experience of engaging in projects from Concept Design to Construction Administration, facilitating my growth from a Designer to a Job Captain, particularly within the realm of high-end single-family residences.  During my tenure as a Designer, I acquired a profound appreciation for drawing with meticulous attention to constructability.  Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio further enriched my professional journey, exposing me to diverse commercial and Tenant Improvement (TI) projects where I provided crucial support to Project Architects.  Jerde provided me the opportunity to contribute to commercial, mix use, large scale master plan projects and competition across Asia, collaborating closely with developers and investors.  This experience refined my skills in research development and strategy, emphasizing the pivotal role of comprehensive research and contextual analysis in shaping architectural design and enhancing user experiences.

I am very excited to bring the skills I have learned to the next office I have the opportunity to work with. Managing a large-scale project, using hand-drawing as a critical design tool, and focusing on constructability of a design are all tools I have refined at my previous work places. I am focused on finding an office that can provide me with continued career growth and development and an office I hope to contribute to for years to come.
