Alex Umerie, Architect/Civil Designer

About

I am an architect, construction manager, research aficionado and a life-long learner. Using my ability to analyze and understand design intent, I have produced efficient and effective technical design solutions. In my professional field, I work with members of the design team to develop design solutions appropriate to the context, budget, and structural requirements of different architectural/construction projects. I have had the opportunity to deliver civil design and drafting services as well as work with other designers in the development and review of various architectural and engineering drawings.
