What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment in design and construction to grow my skills.

I am a registered and licensed architect based in the Philippines, with eight years of experience in architectural design, visualization, and construction management across various countries including Saudi Arabia, Canada, and the United States. My expertise lies in creating detailed architectural designs and realistic visualizations that effectively communicate project concepts to clients and stakeholders.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed numerous projects, from high-end residential buildings to commercial structures. My role as a freelance architect has allowed me to work on diverse projects, providing comprehensive 2D drawings and 3D models that enhance client presentations. I am passionate about collaborating in a dynamic environment where I can contribute my skills in design and construction management.
