I’m Ernest James S. Mernilo, a detail-oriented architecture designer with hands-on experience in schematic design, 3D visualization, and construction management. Over the past two-plus years, I’ve supported project delivery by producing high-quality 2D and 3D drawings, building design visuals, and helping translate client spatial requirements into buildable design proposals. I also enjoy the practical side of architecture—assisting with procurement and FF&E coordination, conducting site inspections, and supporting contractor coordination to keep projects aligned with approved architectural specifications and quality standards. I bring strong fundamentals in BIM and drafting tools, and I’m committed to producing clear, professional outputs that help teams move efficiently from concept to construction.…I’m Ernest James S.
