Bio: Ronnie is a professional interior designer whose love and passion for architecture inspired him to become a tour guide. During the pandemic, after being laid off and as a way of re-inventing himself he started focusing intensely on his hobby of photography/videography. He now has a multi-faceted career doing all the things he loves! He created the popular Instagram account @doorwaysofchicago purely for fun and as the account grew, he had an idea in early 2021 to start hosting architectural tours exploring iconic and historic Chicago neighborhoods. They quickly became some of Chicago's most popular tours!
