Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Design Architect and Interior Designer based in Dubai, with over a decade of experience across the Philippines, Sydney (Australia), the US (remote), and now the UAE. Currently working in a fast-paced fit-out environment, I contribute to the delivery of interior projects by aligning design intent with technical requirements, site conditions, and construction realities. My work sits at the intersection of design and execution—supporting the transition from concept to built outcome through coordination, technical development, and real-time problem-solving. I am actively involved in consultant coordination, material submissions and approvals, drawing production, and resolving design and site-related challenges to ensure clarity, buildability, and consistency across project stages. I value a workflow that balances creative thinking with discipline, supported by strong visualization, high-standard documentation, and BIM capabilities. An early academic exchange in the Netherlands exposed me to progressive, human-centered design thinking, which continues to inform my approach to spatial storytelling, collaboration, and contextual design. Participating in the World Architecture Festival Student Charrette in Singapore further strengthened my ability to think critically, collaborate under pressure, and engage design beyond conventional boundaries. Over the years, I’ve contributed to concept development, interior planning, façade studies and detailing, BIM production, visualization, and technical documentation across a range of project types. In my current role, I am increasingly focused on coordination, design delivery, and ensuring alignment between stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. With a growing focus on design management and multidisciplinary coordination—including exposure to urban and lighting design considerations—I am keen to take on greater responsibility in guiding projects from concept through execution with clarity, precision, and strong team alignment. Open to roles where design is carried from concept to construction through clear coordination, decisive problem-solving, and well-aligned teams.
