I have a wide range of interests, and I respond to architecture that is ancient or contemporary, modest or monumental. I am seeking a long-term position within a dynamic and creative firm as a designer and mid-level intern architect. I am mobile and prepared to relocate to virtually any city in order to resume my architecture career at full momentum.
Hess Design Studio, Charlotte, NC , Designer, intern architect
Since January of 2009, I have provided residential design services for private clients and contract services for local and regional architecture firms. This work arose out of necessity when, in late 2008, the firm where I was working as an intern architect was forced to close.
In an effort to remain engaged with architecture and design during the recession, I habitually sought work on projects of any kind. This includes a freestanding workshop addition to a private residence, a new screened dining room and sitting room for another residence, a Sketchup model for a new employee break room for an industrial complex, and a recent ARCOM submittal, including all required architectural drawings, documents, and calculations, for a new residence in West Palm Beach, Florida. I can provide a complete list of my freelance work experience upon request.

University of North Carolina, Charlotte, NC, US, Bachelors, Fine Arts Cum Laude
I enrolled in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at UNCC in order to develop a portfolio of creative work that would enable me to be admitted to the architecture program of the same school.

I was the only student in the school in the "Drawing" concentration. My studies included 4 semesters of Figure Drawing, as well as metal working, sculpture (as assemblage), physics, calculus, philosophy, painting, and of course several semesters of art history.
