ABOUT
I am an early-career design professional with extensive hands-on experience.

I continue to seek to learn from others and grow. My goal is to cultivate a fulfilling career in architecture, engaged in impactful projects, and consistently striving for excellence in every role I undertake.
I excel in both manual and digital drawing, and my proficiency utilizing Autodesk software continues to evolve, enabling me to tackle advanced concepts with confidence on a daily basis.
