PROFILEDuring my work experience abroad as an Architect and Technical Architect for more than a decade, I developed a keen interest in Social Architecture, which led to my specialization in Universal Design and Accessibility. Having worked in different countries such as Canada, France and Spain, my professional experience has enriched and developed my understanding of architecture and urban planning. Through my collaboration on a multitude of Universal Design projects, I have seen that, depending on the location, such factors as climate, culture, and social conscience can influence and impact the implementation of the Universal Design criteria. Working as a Universal Design Specialist requires close collaboration with a variety of professionals and groups (public transport organizations, municipal organizations, occupational therapists, functional diversity groups...). As a result, in combination with my experience abroad, I have effective communication skills, and I am able to consider different ideas and opinions. In addition I am versatile, open to new challenges, and adapt easily to a variety of situations.TECHNICAL SKILLS• Managing construction projects from beginning to end (planning, drawing plans, creating construction budget estimations, building, site supervising…)• Teaching professional workshops in Universal Design, Architectural and Design drawing and Software• Skilled use of Autocad, Photoshop, 3D Studio, Bluebeam, InDesign, Microsoft Office… in a Windows/Mac environment
