About 

As an architectural designer with 9+ years of experience working in an internationally renowned Canadian architecture practice, I strive for continual innovation in design. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your acclaimed firm and create exceptional spaces that inspire.

With a background in custom residential, mixed-use, commercial, multi-unit high-rise, and master-planning architecture, I have developed a diverse skill set that allows me to approach projects from different perspectives with an ability to iterate nimbly. I have successfully contributed to and completed numerous projects, as well as published papers and articles that illustrate a consistent commitment to research and development, especially within the urban realm.

In addition to my technical skills, I am a strong communicator and collaborator. I thrive in fast-paced team environments and enjoy working closely with clients, contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure the successful execution of projects. My ability to effectively communicate complex ideas and concepts in visual, physical, and prose forms allows me to build strong relationships and deliver exceptional results.

Thank you for considering my application. 

Sincerely,

Orson Sedmina
