Background

I am an architectural designer with experience leading complex commercial projects for corporate clients, including multi-state exterior renovation programs for Bank of America and full contract deliverables for Amazon Fresh. My work spans consultant coordination, permitting, construction documentation, budgeting, scheduling, and quality control, with responsibilities closely aligned to a Senior Job Captain role. Alongside strong technical and organizational capabilities, I bring a background in concept development, renderings, 3D modeling, and documentation across residential, educational, healthcare, and commercial tenant improvement projects. I also have extensive experience working on small-scale projects that require a highly personal, client-focused approach, which has strengthened my ability to build trust, communicate clearly, and tailor design solutions to individual needs.
