Took over a project in construction document (CD) phase, I played a pivotal role in developing thorough CD sets, meticulously attending to every detail. This effort resulted in obtaining permits for a prestigious $32 million single family residence in Aspen with ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), while adhering closely to county and HOA regulations. In addition, I took charge of the construction administration phase, diligently addressing requests for information (RFIs) and adeptly managing change orders to uphold project excellence. I ensured efficient documentation of all communications, employing streamlined
methods to track and record project correspondence. Furthermore, I coordinated MEP, HVAC, and building systems in alignment with codes and energy efficiency standards, promoting sustainable design practices. Throughout the process, I successfully managed both the design development (DD) and construction administration (CA) phases, ensuring seamless progression and project success.

Led a $7 million renovation of single family residence in Aspen with ADU, guiding it through the design development phase and coordinating with various consultants for seamless execution. Prepared construction details and facilitated the submission of building permits.

Worked on an office design project in Aspen creating schematic design set.

Managed a team of junior staff members remotely, navigating different time zones and effectively coordinating project tasks while giving guidance and knowledge.
Initiated educational initiatives such as lunch and learns and webinars to keep the architecture design team up-to-date of industry trends and emerging technologies. Learned and implemented more efficient programs/ softwares for collaborating with multiple consultants and reviewing project progress.

Monitored and communicated the progress of multifamily housing projects to the respective project manager/principal architect. Ensured designs prioritized efficiency, profitability, compliance with codes, and aesthetic appeal.
Effectively coordinated with multiple consultants and clients across various projects, fostering successful collaboration.
Produced comprehensive sets comprising 3D renders, 2D construction documents, and detailed plans throughout schematic design (SD), design development (DD), construction documents (CD), and construction administration (CA) phases.
Took initiative in researching and implementing efficient solutions to enhance project outcomes.
Contributed to restructuring of the office's drawing templates, optimizing workflow and standardization.
Red lined & collaborated on MEP and HVAC drawings coordination.
Additionally, provided mentorship to high school students participating in the architectural program and junior staffs, imparting knowledge and guidance to support their development in the field.

I utilized Revit to model an expansive luxury single-family residence, significantly enhancing my proficiency in the software and deepening my understanding of structural systems. Additionally, I developed comprehensive presentation sets to effectively communicate design concepts.
Furthermore, through conducting numerous on-site inspections with the principal Architect, I have expanded my comprehension of wooden construction details, thereby augmenting my knowledge and
expertise in this area.

I contributed to various stages of the design process, including:

Drafting schematic design (SD), design development (DD), and construction document (CD) sets, incorporating interior details for luxury single-family housing projects and several apartments, utilizing AutoCAD.
Prepared MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) drawings to ensure efficient building systems.

Assisted in cost estimations for interior elements, aiding in budget planning and management.
Gained valuable insights into reinforced concrete and brick construction details through multiple on-site inspections, enhancing my understanding of construction methodologies.
Collaborated in the development of 3D models and renderings using SketchUp and Revit, facilitating visualization and communication of design concepts.
Supported in crafting presentations for client meetings, effectively conveying project ideas and progress.

Created as-built 2D drawing for real estate developer and redesigned a luxury single family house.

Developed 3D renderings and animations for a agribusiness client. Developed shop drawings. Assisted in creating MEP drawings.

Gained knowledge about construction administration, sub contracting and the challenges faced in field by working closely with the founder of a contracting company.
