Overview:
Over the past 15 years I have strived for and gained a professional architectural experience in architectural Design Development, Schematic Design, Project/Construction Administration and Construction Drawing production in a professional structured office environment. With over 15 years of professional experience, I have demonstrated my diverse skills in architectural design, project management, 3D modeling, animation, CGI rendering and 2D and 3D AutoCAD. Having such a diverse background has allowed me
to develop conceptual ideas into realized building designs. Not only have I produced aesthetically pleasing forms and ideas, but also functioning and quality buildings. Furthermore I have professionally and personally organized the process of taking an abstract preliminary idea and giving it tangible form thus allowing viewers/clients the ability to visualize, understand and experience basic schematic ideas. During various projects, my responsibilities have included (not Limited to):
1. Designer: Concept/ Schematic Design Development
2. Project Management
3. Designer/ Design team member of over 20, million dollar (plus) projects.
4. Maintaining client/architect/G.C. relationships.
5. Construction Administration of over 20, million (plus) dollar projects.
6. Generating schematic designs based on client programmatic input and zoning regulations.
7. Generating three dimensional animations, perspectives and photo realistic image content.
8.Value engineering of active projects
9. Interpretation and understanding Massachusetts Building Code and other pertinent codes.
