  • About

    Experienced and team oriented professional with a strong background in architectural, graphic computer aided drafting and design. Strong portfolio includes various stages of design and construction in commercial, retail, residential, education, hospitality, and corporate office projects. I am committed to producing the best end product possible, utilizing design and planning strategies along with graphic design techniques. It is said that there are no new ideas; however I believe that design rests upon discovering ways to revamp old methods and develop new criteria for design innovation

      I challenge, inspire and motivate my students to actively participate in all aspects of their educational process. I stress that is it not just to submit an assignment to fulfill a requirement, but it is to embrace the opportunity to make a statement. I enhance the curriculum on an individual and collective student basis. This allows each student to work independently, discovering who they are as an artist/designer and how to work collaboratively in group dynamic.
