Software Skills
I am equipped to design and model with Revit Architecture (certified), AutoCAD or Sketchup. I am also capable to render
with Lumion, Adobe Photoshop and illustrator. For environmental simulations I find Autodesk Vasari and Ecotect Analysis
highly helpful. I am also proficient in Microsoft Office packages such as Word and Powerpoint.
I am an active outdoor person with a strong appreciation of the physical environment.
These strongly influenced my passion for architecture and urban design. I am especially interested on how buildings interact
with the environment and vice versa. I am equally fascinated with the entire process of developing the physical environment
to balance the needs of man and the environment.
My love for the natural environment helped me develop interest in sustainability and sustainable development. Taking the
step to affiliate myself with the globally renowned Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) has encouraged me to keep
abrest with the latest innovation in areas of building systems, new construction and urban design.
Coupling architecture and urban design with experience in sustainability studies gives me an uncommon and diverse
background to work in many sectors of the built environment. I also have experience in construction and the ability to
prepare, read and understand complex design details on site. I am happy to work individually or as a member of a larger team
and to make the best use of any skills available to me.
