What I'm looking for

I seek a results-oriented role in facade design or visualization where I can apply BIM, 3D modeling, and rendering skills, work collaboratively, and contribute to high-quality, code-compliant projects.

I am a facade designer and visualization architect with hands-on experience in designing residential, commercial, and high-rise building facades, producing detailed 3D models, and creating realistic architectural renderings. I combine expertise in BIM, construction documentation, and visualization tools to deliver accurate, buildable designs aligned with local building codes.

I have worked across offices and production environments—leading facade design and visualization at an architectural firm, producing visual effects for television, and preparing detailed shop drawings and interior ceramic designs. I bring strong communication, teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving skills to deliver high-quality outcomes on schedule.
