He was responsible for the design development and have successfully facilitated the issuance of the Development Permit for two projects now completed, Avenue One, a high rise in South East False Creek, and Henry, a midrise on Cambie Street.

He is currently working on the design and coordination for the building permit issuance for Block, a mixed-use tower in Downtown Vancouver which includes a heritage conservation, a hotel and a residential component, as well as the design development for Heather Lands – Parcel A, in Vancouver, and 108 Ave. & King George Blvd, in Surrey.

He started his professional work experience with a small, vibrant firm in Italy where he had the opportunity to collaborate in the design and approval process for both private houses and multi-family residential projects. He also actively participated in the design of award-winning international competition entries, which gave him the opportunity to work on institutional and transportation hub proposals.
