About
I am a results-driven Graduate Architect with over six years of professional experience in architectural design, technical documentation, project coordination, site inspections and statutory approvals.
My professional experience spans residential, commercial and public-sector projects, with particular strength in translating project briefs and site information into functional architectural solutions, detailed technical drawings and coordinated project documentation.
I have practical experience in architectural design development, construction documentation, site surveys, data collection and verification, quality control, project reporting and coordination with clients, contractors, engineers and county authorities.
I am proficient in ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Lumion, Artlantis, D5 Render and Microsoft Office, with a strong interest in BIM-based workflows, architectural visualization and efficient project documentation.
I am passionate about creating functional, context-responsive and well-coordinated built environments while maintaining professional standards, regulatory compliance and quality throughout the project lifecycle.
