What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in project management and community development, with a focus on collaboration and professional growth.

I am a dedicated human settlement planner and project management professional with a strong passion for transforming ideas into reality. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Human Settlement Planning from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, complemented by various certifications in project management and virtual assistance. I thrive in collaborative environments, leveraging my skills in planning and community development to deliver exceptional results.

As the owner of The Summit Creations, I specialize in creating detailed architectural designs and plans for both residential and commercial projects. My expertise in 2D and 3D modeling using AutoCAD and Revit allows me to produce visually appealing and functional designs that meet client expectations. I also have experience in project coordination, having successfully managed budgets, schedules, and team dynamics in previous roles.

My commitment to excellence is reflected in my attention to detail and my ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders. I am excited to continue growing in my career and to contribute to innovative projects that enhance community living.
