About 

I’m an architect with focus on BIM implementation. For the last five years i’ve been working as an independent architect, co-founder of my own firm where I lead a team of nine architects together with my partner. More than 30 projects built and many more designed through out my career. My colleagues define me as an honest, responsible, passionate and creative entrepreneur. I’m also a very curious person, quick learner, interested in new technologies, digital transformation and alternative ways to do things generating sustainable designs.

Seeking for a new challenge where i can add value, learn from others, meet new colleagues and grow both professionally and personally.

“Learn, innovate, grow, teach and repeat.”
