I’m currently an architectural designer based in San Francisco working at Obata Noblin Office. I hold a bachelor's of architecture degree from California State Polytechnic University - Pomona.
My knowledge of software, including Rhinoceros, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Revit, Enscape, and the Adobe Creative Suite.
Through my current and previous positions, I have acquired an understanding of front-end client relations, familiarity with San Francisco and Los Angeles building codes, and project management skills
I have had the privilege of interning at Catherine Garrison Architect, a design studio specializing in unique, client-centered private residences, in Los Angeles, and at Studio One Eleven, a firm focused on urban planning and mixed-use developments, in Long Beach.

Studio One Eleven, Long Beach, CA, US, Intern
During my time at Studio One Eleven, the other interns and I were tasked with consolidating and forming three options for the firm to use as their new graphic styles. We had standardized a preexisting style primarily used for simple architectural drawings and created two new illustrative style options that introduced color and whimsy for the designers to use for future graphic visualizations. These styles were compiled into an informational booklet explaining the standards in depth and presented to the design team to implement.
The other interns and I worked as a team to create new graphics of preexisting projects primarily focusing on the OC Great Parks to submit to the AIAOC for the 2022 design awards. One of the projects we created visualizations for, Rise Park, was selected as the winner for the residential development category.
Again, as a team with the other interns, we were introduced to various active projects to either shadow, create graphics for, draw, or build physical models for.
Catherine Garrison Architect, Inc, Los Angeles, CA, US, Intern
Catherine Garrison Architect is an architectural practice located in Northeast Los Angeles with projects primarily focusing on single family residences.
I had the opportunity to intern here during the summer and was able to continue on throughout the school year.
I was actively involved in all aspects of the firm and was enthusiastically mentored as I was exposed to a range of important professional experiences.
During my time at CGA Inc., I created architectural illustrations for the website, drafted construction drawing sets, pitched design strategies, gained understanding of LA building code, and conducting client meetings.
The primary programs used were AutoCAD for drafting, the Adobe Creative Suite for visuals, Rhino3D and SketchUp for 3D modeling, and Enscape as our 3D Renderer.
