What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative design environment where I can lead BIM-based architectural and interior work—from schematic design through construction documents—while contributing to complex educational and healthcare projects and continuing to grow as a project leader.

I’m an architectural and interior designer with broad, multidisciplinary experience across retail, residential, commercial, educational, healthcare, aviation, and hotel projects. I bring a flexible, cross-environment mindset and a reputation as both a strong team player and an independent contributor.

As a Job Captain at LSE Architects, I lead schematic design through construction documentation for (K-12) schools, hospitals, and senior living house projects—using advanced Revit and AutoCAD to produce clear, buildable deliverables. I also support major workstreams, including NEON Collective Kitchens ($20M, schematic design to construction docs) and preparation of construction documents for more than $100M in school projects. Alongside my design practice, I’m a Licensed Real Estate Agent in MN and I’ve taught Interior Architecture and Environmental Design as a part-time instructor at Bilkent University.
