Personal Profile
An enthusiastic, hard-working and highly versatile individual who can apply himself totally to the task in
hand, with determination and drive to see projects to successful completion. I have excellent
communication skills and, while being a strong team player, I am fully able to utilise self-motivation and
work alone, making sure to deliver a high-quality work. I have worked in the architectural industry for over
3 years collaborating with home and international studios, as well as working by myself as a freelance
architect. I have extensive experience in projects concerning both new building and restoration in the
public and private sector, mainly related to healthcare, residential, office, hotel/resort, art and culture
projects. I would now like to take the next step in my career by bringing my wealth of experience to a new
professional challenge with a UK based company that offers me the possibility to expand my knowledge
and abilities further.
Objective
To front face this new life I chose the UK because it is a known place for me, as I spent over 4 years during
my A-levels studies, and it was the right place to develop an architectural career and become a long
expanding member of a top international firm. Britain is one of the main references for any architect who
wants to be part of the biggest and more attractive projects taking place worldwide. I would relish the
opportunity to take a project from inception to completion and eventually onto site. My role would ideally
be getting involved with the process of the architectural design, from ideation to technical facing chores,
including any assistant or technician role.
