I am freelance Architectural Design Consultant [b.arch UBC]

I have a deep interest & passion for excellence in architectural, interior, & urban design. all this is emphasized & nurtured by previous experience & travel overseeas w/ a variety of clients & firms ~ servicing their needs throughout the design process.
