What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to architectural and interior design projects where I can develop functional, sustainable spaces, coordinate execution with multidisciplinary teams, and grow through complex commercial and redevelopment work.

At Barbeque Nation Hospitality Limited, I prepare Good for Construction drawings for new outlets and renovation projects, designing restaurant layouts, color schemes, interior elevations, and façade signage while maintaining brand standards.

I've also coordinated large-scale redevelopment work at Architec-Allied, working with Project Management Services, Railway Authorities, vendors, contractors, and senior architects to approve drawings, resolve construction issues, and deliver site-ready designs. My work spans interior detailing, material selection, MEP coordination, 3D rendering, and sustainable, operationally efficient spaces.
