What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end interior architecture projects—using BIM and photorealistic visualization—to deliver buildable designs that meet client and budget goals through strong coordination and technical documentation.

I’m a Senior Interior Architect and Architectural Designer with 6+ years of experience delivering residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use projects from concept through construction documentation. I focus on space planning, BIM, technical documentation, and multidisciplinary coordination to ensure designs are buildable and aligned with client, budget, and project objectives.

Since May 2024, I’ve worked as an Independent Architectural Consultant, leading end-to-end residential and commercial interior finishing, renovations, and design-and-build projects. I prepare interior layouts, lighting plans, joinery details, shop drawings, and technical documentation in Revit and AutoCAD, while using SketchUp, Enscape, V-Ray, D5 Render, and Chaos Vantage to produce photorealistic 3D visualizations that support design development and client approvals.
