Registered architect delivering practical designs, site oversight, and construction-ready documentation.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I am a registered and licensed architect with over five years of hands-on experience in architectural design, drafting, and site inspection. I combine creative planning with technical precision to produce functional, buildable designs.
As a freelance architectural designer I consult with clients, produce design sketches and BIM/CAD models, prepare construction documents, and estimate materials and costs. I have led feasibility studies and monitored construction to ensure compliance with specifications and codes.
In industry roles I served as Site Architect/Inspector, Workforce Planner, and Team Leader, developing skills in project monitoring, cost estimation, staffing forecasts, and team supervision. I am experienced liaising with engineers, contractors, and clients to coordinate design changes and deliver projects on schedule.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and professional licenses as a Registered Architect and Registered Master Plumber. I seek continuous improvement and contribute practical, code-compliant solutions that balance aesthetics, safety, and constructability.
