I help architects and engineers get through the day-to-day drafting work that eats up time. Redlines, revisions, construction sets, coordination updates. I take care of the technical side so you can stay focused on design and client needs. I’ve spent more than six years working in AutoCAD and Revit on residential, structural, and light commercial projects. I’m comfortable jumping in at any stage, from early design through permit-ready documentation. What I handle: Construction drawing sets from setup to final sheets Redlines and revisions turned around quickly PDF and sketch conversions into clean DWGs Floor plans, elevations, sections drafted accurately Construction details based on project requirements Light Revit modeling for design development File cleanup and standards including layers, blocks, and sheet sets Consultant coordination and permit prep Why clients work with me: I work fast and stay on top of communication I keep drawings clean and easy to review I understand how architects and engineers think I help teams stay ahead of deadlines If you’re buried in markups or juggling multiple projects, I can step in and keep your drawings moving. Clear communication, reliable turnaround, and drafting support that fits into your workflow.
