    Hello! I’m a graduate from the University of San Francisco with a deep passion for art and design, which I channel through architecture. I am driven by the desire to create meaningful structures that address real-world needs, particularly in underserved communities. I am committed to designing with a focus on humanistic architecture, ensuring that every project reflects the needs and experiences of the users. For me, the design process is incomplete without considering the people it serves — their comfort, safety, and overall experience. In my professional work, I have gained extensive experience with Revit, AutoCAD, and Adobe Suite, which I use daily to bring my designs to life. I have also worked with SketchUp, Rhino, Enscape, and Lumion to create detailed models, renderings, and visualizations for various projects. My experience with these tools enables me to produce high-quality, efficient, and innovative design solutions.
