Toua Lee | BIM Specialist

When he was a university student, Toua combined a major in interior design with a minor in business administration, bridging creativity with practicality. "I liked hand-sketching and I liked organizing—I still do," he says. "I’m all about the details." Toua believes that studying architectural drafting and training in AutoCAD and Revit (BIM) has helped to focus his artistic and project development skills in a tangible way.

Over the years, Toua has developed a methodical approach to starting and finishing a project. "I also know that flexibility is key. At any moment, I’m ready to switch gears and help on any project—anywhere in the process," he adds. For him, seeing the transition from sketch to structure, and contributing to it, brings tremendous satisfaction.
