I am a bright, fresh designer looking to thrive in a commercial design firm. Upon graduation, careers in the industry were far and few between. With diligence I obtained multiple experiences in commercial and residential design. As my career develops, I intend to focus on commercial projects. Currently, I am a candidate for the NCIDQ and I aspire to obtain LEED AP upon eligibility. I am active in ASID and attend continuing education units. My experience includes the development of design and drawings through schematics, conceptual sketches, teamwork, and consultation with product vendors and industry experts. I engage in client presentations and foster relationships throughout design and procurement. My research skills are honed to perform within the project scope and budget, while integrating big picture goals and innovations. My integrity and willingness to learn make me a great candidate to inspire and be inspired as a part of a successful design team.
