I am a recent graduate of the Fay Jones School of Architecture + Design at the University of Arkansas. I graduated with distinction while earning my Bachelor of Architecture and minor in History of Architecture and Design. Throughout my educational experience, I developed a strong skill set for the representation of innovative design strategies through renderings, line drawings, diagrams, and modeling. My professional work experience provided me the opportunity to build on these skills and improve in programs like Revit and Enscape. In addition, I was included on project teams for competitions where I contributed design ideas and drawings. The experience introduced me to the early phases of design in a professional environment, while also teaching me new strategies for presenting innovative design ideas to a jury.
HOK, Kansas City, MO, US, Architecture Intern
As an Architecture Intern for the Corporate & Commercial Group, I modeled projects in Revit and created renderings, line drawings, and diagrams for presentation packages to send out to clients. I also had the opportunity to work with a design team in the conceptual phase for two mixed-use project competitions. I contributed design ideas, created renderings and diagrams, and helped organize the competition boards presented to the jury.
