Introduction

About

I am a first-generation college graduate and emerging architectural designer with experience in visualization and conceptual design.

I am eager to grow in both design and project coordination roles, with the long-term goal of moving into project and design management. I enjoy working in collaborative environments and am always looking for opportunities to learn, contribute, and build experience across every stage of the design process.

The aim is simple: to become a versatile designer who can support projects from first concept through final documentation.
