Architectural Design · Visualization · Building Technology
I’m an Architectural Technology student and Virtual Construction Intern working at the intersection of design, digital delivery, and visual communication, turning complex building information into work people can understand and use.
Perspective
My goal is architectural design. Technology is the way I explore, communicate, and carry design intent from an idea toward built work.
My path into architecture began through graphic design, motion design, 3D visualization, and creative leadership. That experience trained me to see hierarchy, movement, narrative, and the way people read visual information. Architectural Technology gave that visual foundation a new scale: spaces, systems, documentation, and buildings.
My current VDC and facilities work strengthens that direction by showing me how design decisions meet phasing, logistics, existing conditions, coordination, and the realities of construction. I intend to continue my architectural education and work toward professional licensure, bringing together design judgment, technical rigor, and clear communication.
Selected experience
From concept and visual narrative to documentation, coordination, and construction sequencing, each role has added another layer to how I understand buildings.
May 2026 - Present
Virtual Construction Intern
Improving how construction strategy is communicated across multiple $10M+ projects. The work spans 2D, CMBuilder 3D, and Synchro 4D sequencing; site logistics; asset tracking; multidisciplinary model coordination; and a ReCap-to-Twinmotion reality-capture workflow. I also introduced After Effects compositing to create clearer, reusable sequencing presentations.
Sep 2025 - Present
Drafter & Coordinator · Facilities and Capital Development
Built internal drafting and documentation standards covering sheet layouts, title blocks, layers, CAD structure, and file organization. I update campus drawings, verify existing conditions in the field, and organize project information for facilities staff, contractors, and internal stakeholders.
Feb 2020 - Dec 2024
Co-Founder & Media Production Manager
Co-founded and grew a remote media studio that delivered 200+ motion-design and visualization projects for international clients. I led a five-person team from scope and creative direction through quality control and delivery, earning Top-Rated Seller status and a consistent five-star rating.
2015 - 2018
Project Management · Operations · Graphic Design
Supported an agricultural project from field logistics and daily operations to market research, financial projections, and a commercial-loan proposal presented to a committee of banks. Earlier graphic-design work established the visual foundation that continues to shape how I communicate technical ideas.
