What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an environment that supports my intellectual, professional, and personal growth, where I can contribute meaningfully to team and organizational success through strong architectural experience, design leadership, and project delivery.

I’m an accomplished architect with over a decade of experience delivering innovative design solutions across residential, commercial, and hospitality projects. I guide work from initial concept through final execution, with a strong focus on client collaboration, design integration, and efficient project management.

Most recently, I led and managed technical teams to deliver hospitality and mixed-use design packages, overseeing detailed drawing sets, technical specifications, and coordination with architects, engineers, contractors, and vendors. I also serve as the primary client point of contact for technical progress, quality control across project stages, and issue resolution—bringing clarity to complex design decisions and keeping projects aligned with briefs, milestones, and budget compliance.
