Background

Open to Freelance / Contract Work With seven years of experience as a lead designer and assistant project manager, I am confident that my background in the design industry would make me a valuable addition to your team. During my time in the architecture industry, I have gained knowledge in design development, construction documentation, and construction administration. I have had the opportunity to work on various projects, ranging from urban farms to libraries to single family homes, and have been responsible for coordinating with consultants, clients and other project stakeholders. These experiences have given me a strong foundation in understanding the entire project lifecycle, from design through construction.
