I started in the field, not behind a desk — measuring existing buildings, translating hand notes into CAD, and learning firsthand what a design team actually needs from an as-built survey to move a project forward without rework.

Since then, I've worked across residential remodels, small commercial tenant improvements, and quick-serve restaurant projects with Raising Cane's, and spent several years managing architectural projects at CSRS, Inc. — reviewing plans for code compliance, coordinating with engineers and contractors, and keeping projects on schedule.

That project management background is what shapes how I approach drafting work now: accurate field measurements, clear communication, and drawings delivered in a format that slots directly into your existing workflow — not a generic template you have to rework.

I'm currently pursuing an MBA and my architecture license, having already passed the Project Management and Practice Management divisions of the ARE 5.0.
