ODS |DRAFTING OFFICE

OMAR D. SILVA
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER+DRAFTER
Omar founded ODS | Drafting Office with a clear mission: to bring thoughtful, design-forward drafting solutions to both professionals and homeowners. What began as a passion for architecture and design grew into a full-fledged career, starting with his early CAD work and eventually leading to a Master’s degree in Architecture from Florida International University (FIU).
With over a decade of experience, Omar continues to deepen his expertise while working toward architectural licensure through NCARB. He stays current with the latest industry software and practices, always looking for ways to improve and innovate.
Outside of work, Omar enjoys spending quality time with his wife and son, often exploring the outdoors in sunny South Florida. Whether it’s beach days or weekend hikes, he values the balance between his professional life and time with family. Through his work, Omar remains committed to making a meaningful impact in the world of architecture—combining skill, creativity, and a personal touch in every project.
