• Review design work produced by other team members and provide clear, constructive feedback that strengthens design quality and alignment with the overall vision.

• Present and defend architectural decisions to leadership, architects, consultants, partners, and other stakeholders, adapting communication to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Collaborate closely with architecture leads, BIM specialists, and U.S.-based consultants to carry design intent through development and toward construction.

• Evaluate design alternatives efficiently, make well-reasoned recommendations, and adapt to changing priorities while maintaining architectural quality.

• Work independently in a remote, cross-cultural team, taking ownership of project deliverables, timelines, and design outcomes.
