Experience

1. CEO Visualization Director

   F13 Design Studio, Llc

   Apr 2012 — Present · Baltimore, MD, US

   We collaborate with architects, home builders, designers, and other industry players to transform their CAD drawings and sketches, into digital portraits of their architectural concepts depicting that which does not yet exist. Because artwork is a universal method of communication that transcends all cultural and language barriers, these architectural renderings are the essential tool in enabling these parties to identify areas of opportunity in finalizing structural, design, and aesthetic characteristics of each project. The renderings also provide industry players with invaluable marketing material with which to present developers and investors.
