About

Hi, Welcome to my portfolio website. My name is Edward Russell Lance Gonzales Ricafort or Lance Ricafort for short. I am a full-time student at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) as an Architectural Technologies student.

I was born and raised here in Calgary Alberta for 19 years. I am an Architectural Technologist based here. My passion for architecture started when I dreamed of designing my own home in the future and utilizing the Autodesk software to produce these drawings and renderings for myself and for clients, till now it has to lead me to the Architectural Technologies field here at SAIT. I have admired many architects on what they have produced and now I am able to create my own designs with confidence, having also experienced and been trained in producing working drawings sets, code analysis, renderings, and building science initiatives made me realize how special and important the architectural technologies program really is.

Now, I can produce residential and commercial drawing sets, knowing various Autodesk and other architectural software for clients. These skills that I have learned throughout my two years at SAIT will allow me to enter the industry with full confidence, creating 2D drawings and having that drawing set that I made be built for someone is special. My interests include various photography, sports, and traveling. I am motivated and proud of my work ethic and ability to multitask and meet deadlines. My mission is that I want to be everyone’s first choice for designing and producing commercial or residential drawing sets, taking into consideration of sustainable methods, occupant comfort, and the aesthetics of the building. Not only that, I consider myself as a vibrant and fun individual who will always be a respectful leader to my colleagues and to my clients.
