About 

I am seeking the opportunity to apply myself to a current Designer position.This would be an ideal prospect in view of my experience and  I would like this opportunity to progress in my career so that I can apply the creative skills that I have already attained.
As my CV reflects, I have 3 years of experience in the architecture/design field. I am currently interning at a design firm and would love to apply the skills in space planning and material/finish selection I've learned thus far. Prior to this, I worked for an architectural firm where I was responsible for measuring, and drawing up plans for existing buildings. I have also completed many freelance Interior Design projects. I am highly proficient in multiple computer software including AutoCAD, REVIT, 3ds MAX, Sketch-up and Adobe Suite programs. Greater details of my accomplishments can be found on my attached CV.
