Great designs are built upon an understanding of the project's needs, eliminating assumptions, and incorporating inspirations by a creative team.

With over a decade of experience in architecture, I have successfully completed projects across a variety of sectors, including airports, residential, and mixed-use developments with Kasian. Each sector has shared common design skillsets but also required specialized expertise to meet its unique demands. For instance, My work with the Vancouver YVR Airport has balanced the complexities of public accessibility and wayfinding with security standards and baggage handling systems. Meanwhile, my role in the Sen̓áḵw residential development project in Vancouver focused on coordinating civil infrastructure and integrating First Nation art, while adhering to CMHC standards for accessibility and affordability.

 

Throughout all my projects, I have learned in that leading with positivity, understanding and open communication brings out the most successful and rewarding results.

 

My Sectors: Commercial Mixed Use; Residential and Transportation
