About Me...
With over ten years of collective architectural experience in my home country of Ethiopia and in the United States, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects both collaboratively and individually. From working on a tenant improvement project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to designing a new high school in Pasco, Washington, my experience ranges from being the lead designer to being in charge of the production of construction documents for very large and complex projects. The challenges and opportunities in these different professional environments have broadened my perspective and shaped me into a well-rounded design professional with a good eye for design and solid technical knowledge.

My enrollment in a French international school from a young age along with the many opportunities I have had to travel in North America, Europe and Africa have enlarged my outlook of the world and given me a greater appreciation of my "neighbor". My adaptability and the ease at which I navigate in and out of different cultures have helped me negotiate and maintain synergistic working environment with diverse teammates and consultants in all my professional relationships.
