What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining interior design and technical project coordination in collaborative teams, with opportunities to lead projects and mentor junior staff.

I am a Senior Architectural Engineer and Interior Design Specialist with over five years of experience delivering end-to-end design solutions for residential and commercial projects. I bridge creative design and precise execution, producing interior layouts, finishes, shop drawings, BOQs, and 3D visualizations using AutoCAD, 3ds Max with Corona, and SketchUp.

I have led teams, coordinated multidisciplinary stakeholders, and improved delivery metrics—mentoring junior staff, resolving MEP/architectural conflicts, and reducing design revisions while maintaining high on-time production rates. I am pursuing PMP certification and aim to continue advancing technical project coordination and sustainable, buildable design solutions.
