ZORAIDA RIVERA RIVERA 2
ABOUT ME I am an architectural designer and an artist. My biggest passion is creating, designing a building, a residence or even a poster for a golf tournament. Some of my values include diligence, respect and honesty. I find great satisfaction is architecture and the process of design, from concept to completion. Respect is essential in all aspects of my life, respect to my profession by following the AIA standards, respect to the client by achieving the standards of the project and respect to myself by achieving my personal goals. Finally honesty is just common sense in my life, when there is transparency and clear communication collaboration becomes easy. My goal in life is to collaborate in architecture projects and continue my journey towards licensing. More information about me can be found on my website www.zoraidarivera.com
