ABOUT ME

I am a Montreal based Architect who has a Bachelor degree in Graphic Design as well as a Bachelor degree in Architecture. I have also passed the NCARB exams so I could work in all of North America. From the beginning of my studies, the endless possibilities of new technology have captivated me. Since then, I have put a lot of effort in developing an expertise in BIM. I am also drawn to the creation of still images, moving images and complex geometry. For the past 10 years, I have been focusing on developing bim-related apps which have been downloaded by thousands of users. I am considered as a reference in my field and a pleasant person to work with.
