PROFESSIONAL:
OLVEI Freelance Architectural & Interior Designer — Boston MA (2024)
I started working for myself in the Boston Area! I have done freelance work for other designers in the area as well as Havenly.com
Sleeping Dog Properties Architectural Designer — Boston MA (2023-2024)
High end residential design in Boston/Cambridge. A design-build model operates differently than a typical design firm. The instight into the construction and fulfilment side that Chris and Derrick have shown me has been extremely valuable.
Catherine Truman Architects Junior Designer — Cambridge MA (2022-2023)
High end residential design in Boston/Cambridge/Cape. Catherine’s studio had us working in teams during year+ long projects all around New England.
America Dural Inc Architectural & Interior Designer — Cambridge MA (2017-2022)
High end residential design in Boston/Cambridge. Phillip Miller is the one who provided me with the base knowledge that I still use today. I am very grateful for his influence and education.
TIA Architects Intern — Amherst MA (2016)
Residential design in the Pioneer Valley. Tullio has a small but long running practice in Amherst. He gutted and designed the church that he works out of! Sleeping Dog Properties
