About 

 Dear Human Resources,

An epiphany which gives way to an idea and then a procedure to solve the problem and concept or application.


As an architectural designer and draftsperson; I have done design and details that concerned high end residential as well as high end lighting for both homes and business, commercial and retail. Guided by project manager and/or architect for preparation of schematic, design development, construction documents (CD) for planning of mercantile commercial and retail scope of work.

I am concerned with involving building codes, sections, elevations and structural section details (with engineering approval) for construction. I have more than five years working with AutoCAD environment (and two years with Sketch-up for structural detail review.)
My work usually requires me to be a self-starter and motivated to the task which causes self-timing and management on all projects.

Regards,
John E. Turney
