OVERVIEW:  I've dedicated myself to cultivating a comprehensive professional background in architectural design encompassing Design Development, Schematic Design, Project/Construction Administration, and Construction Drawing production within a structured office setting. With extensive experience in the field, I've showcased a versatile skill set spanning architectural design, project management, 3D modeling, animation, CGI rendering, and proficiency in both 2D and 3D AutoCAD.

 

This diverse expertise has empowered me to translate conceptual visions into tangible architectural marvels. Beyond merely crafting visually appealing concepts, I've consistently delivered functional and high-quality buildings. Moreover, I excel in orchestrating the transformation of abstract preliminary ideas into tangible forms, thereby enabling viewers and clients alike to visualize, comprehend, and engage with fundamental schematic concepts effectively.
