ABOUT ME WORK EXPERIENCE

I’m an Architectural Technologist with a year of industry experience following my graduation from SAIT.

Beyond work, I’m deeply passionate about art and music. I spend much of my free time sketching and honing my skills in software like Revit and Adobe Photoshop, always with a strong attention to detail. This precision carries through both my personal and professional work.

I thrive on creative challenges and find real purpose in my hobbies. Whether working on architectural drawings or painting, I approach each project with enthusiasm and a fresh perspective. I believe the creativity I cultivate outside of work strengthens my ability to contribute meaningfully within the industry.

FRAMING OPTION I

This framing option features vertically running joists, complemented by horizontally positioned beams on the main floor and load-bearing walls. I favor this design for its simplicity and efficiency, which optimizes space on the main floor, particularly advantageous for creating expansive retail areas.

FRAMING OPTION II

In this framing configuration, joists run horizontally, while beams on the main floor and load-bearing walls on upper levels run vertically. Although my second choice, this layout introduces complexity to residential floor plans and reduces available retail space on the main floor, contrasting with the simplicity and efficiency of the vertical joist option.
