About 

ith both Master's and Bachelor of Technology degrees in architecture and a solid foundation in the field, I have cultivated a keen interest in design and fine art. As a versatile and design‐oriented architect, I boast over 7 years of experience in both architecture and interior design. My particular focus lies in sustainability, building models, detailing, visualization, and animation. I bring to the table a broad and robust skill set, developed through active involvement in numerous complex projects, as evident in my design portfolio. My discerning eye for detail and commitment to achieving clean aesthetics are key attributes that set me apart in the field. I have notable accomplishments, including the proficient management of residential projects valued at no less than 300,000,000 naira (327,600 dollars) from inception to completion. Furthermore, I have demonstrated success in acquiring new clients and consistently exceeding budget and schedule targets. My capabilities extend to building effective working relationships and fostering successful teams through the application of sound practices and innovative methods.
