About
I am an architect studying to pass the ARE 5.0 exams and become a licensed architect.
I have a master's degree in architecture (M.Arch) with a thesis and research on the topic of Earth Sheltered Housing and their effectiveness in a Tropical Warm & Humid Climate setting.
I am proficient with small scale designs (housing, interior design, prop making, furniture, etc.) and academic experience with big scale design (multi-familiar housing, corporate offices, government offices, urban design, etc.). I also have little experience in graphic design for product design.
AutoCad is my go to program for drafting and 3d modeling. However, I am also proficient with Rhinoceros 7 and currently learning to use Grasshopper for parametric design in Rhino.
I am also proficient with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign, and I am learning to use Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and After Effects for video and image editing and enhancement.
In my free time, I like modeling props for 3D printing and creating custom designs for household items and/or decorations.
Feel free to ask me any questions regarding my services.
