About
I bring architectural ideas to life through a mix of technical skills and creative design. I create detailed construction documents in Revit and AutoCAD, build 3D models in Revit and SketchUp, and produce photorealistic renderings with Enscape. I use Photoshop to polish presentations and make sure everything looks professional. Whether I'm drafting construction-ready drawings, creating visualizations for clients, or developing design concepts, I focus on making ideas clear, accurate, and visually compelling.
