Welcome to my portfolio! With over two years of hands-on experience in the architectural field, I bring a dedicated focus on detail-oriented design and strong technical expertise. My portfolio reflects a journey through complex projects, primarily in the educational sector, where I’ve honed skills in documentation while working at PMDL McGlashan Everist. I am passionate about creating meaningful spaces that are functional and inspiring. When I’m not deep in a design, you might find me creating beautiful textured art or exploring new ways to blend creativity with practicality. Dive in to see what I’ve been working on.
I hope you enjoy it !
