👋 Hi, I'm Ivan! Need a permit-ready Architecture / ADU design, a full Architectural document set, or a landscape master plan approved the first time?
I'm a Top Rated Plus Architect with a PhD in Architecture — a Chief Architect expert, Revit professional, BIM specialist, and Landscape Architect who guides your project from the first sketch to complete, code-compliant construction documents.
With 13+ years as a practicing Architect, 290+ completed projects, 6,000+ hours on Upwork, and a 100% Job Success Score, I turn ideas into buildable, permit-ready documentation. Clients have passed plan review on the first submission, saved weeks of revision cycles thanks to BIM coordination, and secured permits for ADU, renovation, and new-construction projects across the US, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East.
🏆 Why My Architecture & Design Services Stand Out
✔ PhD in Architecture + University Associate Professor — research-grade precision in every drawing
✔ 13+ years of experience as an Architect and Landscape Architect
✔ 290+ residential, ADU, commercial, and landscape projects worldwide
✔ $100K+ earned on Upwork | 100% Job Success | Top Rated Plus (Top 3% Talent)
✔ Chief Architect X9–X17 power user — one of the few Chief Architect experts on Upwork
✔ Full BIM workflow in Revit 2022–2026 and ArchiCAD 24–29
✔ Permit-ready documentation compliant with IRC 2021 and local building codes
✔ Projects delivered in the US (NY, CA, NC, MO, MA, GA ect.), Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and beyond

I create cinematic architectural animation and high-end visualization for clients who value clarity, precision, and strong visual impact.
With 25+ years of professional experience in architecture, design, and project coordination, I understand not only how a space looks — but how it works, how it is built, and how it is presented.
I have worked on international projects across Israel, Poland, Greece, Switzerland, Panama and beyond. My background includes public buildings, medical spaces, private residences, and complex environments requiring regulatory and technical precision.
Today I focus on architectural animation and visualization — delivering dynamic, presentation-ready content that helps architects, developers, and decision-makers see the project before it is built.
I work efficiently, even in challenging environments. Discipline, structure, and responsibility are not optional — they are part of my workflow.
If you are looking for a partner who understands architecture and can translate it into powerful visual storytelling — welcome aboard.
