With past work experience ranging from project management, construction documentation and detailing, design development, filing with NYC DOB and LPC, hands on construction and fabrication, I believe that I could be an asset to your team. I am currently at Ogawa Depardon Architects, a small boutique firm, in lower Manhattan where I perform as a designer and project manager. In the 4 years that I have been here, I've worked on a variety of projects ranging from apartment, private townhome, bar and restaurant renovations. I worked directly with the firm's two principals and clients to bring projects from conception to reality. I currently have a solo design project of mine in construction in Northeast Ohio, a single family home for a couple aging in place. Formerly, I've worked in design/build, architecture and landscape architecture.
