What I'm looking for

I seek senior design or project coordination roles in architecture/interior design working on high-rise or mixed-use projects, with collaborative teams and growth opportunities.

I am an architectural and interior design professional with extensive international experience leading design teams and coordinating large mixed-use and high-rise residential projects. I combine hands-on design work — concept development, unit and façade design, and detailed drawings — with project coordination across consultants and clients.

Across roles in Toronto, Shanghai and Ukraine I have directed designers, established creative strategy, managed budgets and schedules, and ensured timely delivery of high-quality design documentation (SD, DD, CD). Key achievements include leading multi-tower mixed-use schemes, preparing SPA/ZBA submission packages, and implementing consultant and city comments to progress projects to approvals.

I am proficient in industry software (AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, Revit (basic), Photoshop, InDesign, Artlantis, Bluebeam Revu) and fluent in English, Russian and Ukrainian. I bring a collaborative leadership style, practical construction knowledge, and a commitment to design excellence and delivery.
