What I'm looking for

Architecture graduate with 2 yrs of experience, 1 yr as a Junior Architect and 1 yr leading a Planning and Design Department. After early leadership exposure, I’m seeking a role that allows me to deepen my technical skills, learn within a structured team, and grow through mentorship and collaboration.

I’m an Architectural Designer who leads the Planning & Design team, focused on coordinating details and supporting projects from schematic design through site execution.

I have led department operations, reviewed and approved construction drawings, conducted site inspections, and enforced QA/QC to ensure design integrity and buildability across residential, commercial, institutional, and resort projects.

My background includes producing detailed renderings, walkthroughs, permit sets, and as-built drawings, while managing materials selection, procurement coordination, and client presentations to meet budgets and client objectives.

I value clarity, teamwork, and organized documentation.
