What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and collaboration in innovative architectural projects.

I am an experienced Architectural Technician and Design Coordinator with a proven track record in managing residential projects from conception to completion. My strong organizational and communication skills enable me to effectively liaise with clients, consultants, and contractors, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and to the highest standards. I thrive in collaborative environments and have successfully overseen junior staff while coordinating complex information across multiple sites.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set in design software, including AutoCAD, Revit, and SolidWorks, which I utilize to create innovative solutions for construction challenges. My experience includes reviewing designs for constructability and value enhancement, as well as producing detailed drawings and models that meet industry standards. I am passionate about architecture and continuously seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in this dynamic field.
