With graduation pending in June, I am seeking an entry-level design position at a firm where I can utilize my creativity and passion to help create wonderful design and develop as an architect. I will be graduating Magna cum laude from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Architecture in 2012. I have about one year of professional experience distributed in various durations across five firms, including Morphosis, Eric Owen Moss, Ball-Nogues Studio, IwamotoScott Architecture, and SPaCe Architects. Through my academic and professional experience I have developed strong skills in the integration of digital design and physical craft. I have an obsessive desire to create works of beauty at any scale and through all media. I persistently aim to learn new tools, refine my skills, and deepen my understanding of architecture and design. I am a motivated individual and collaborative team player who brings an enthusiasm for design, a commitment to quality, and a dedication to my work. Please visit me at 3LUR.com to learn more, thank you.
