As a dedicated and passionate architectural designer, I bring a wealth of experience and a strong educational foundation to the table. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, and have honed my skills as a Project Designer at Innovative Design Architecture. My career has been marked by leading and managing a diverse array of projects, including tenant improvements, ADA enhancements, condo subdivisions, rezoning, and new commercial builds.
I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can effectively prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously. My ability to independently guide projects from conception to completion, overseeing every detail, has been a cornerstone of my professional success. I specialize in creating detailed designs and construction documentation using AutoCAD, ensuring that all plans, elevations, sections, and details meet the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.
Communication and collaboration are key strengths of mine. I have successfully maintained open lines of communication with clients, vendors, city officials, engineers, and other project participants, fostering strong professional relationships and ensuring smooth project execution. Over the past three years, I have guided over 40 projects through the plan review phases, successfully obtaining permits for all.
