Enthusiastic and Passionate in professional and personal endeavours.
Strong beliefs in design quality and sustainability that can be attained in carefully detailed architecture.
I am dynamic, hard working and efficient under pressure and I am seeking a junior architect position in a New York architecture firm.
Graduate of a Master of Architecture from University College Dublin, I have gained cumulatively 1 year experience in several architecture firms throughout Europe, where I acquired strong technical and communicative skills on projects from initial design to completion. I have acquired a Graduate Visa which enables me to work full time in the US and I am available to begin work immediately.
ModelWorks Media, Dublin, IE, CAD Technician
As a CAD Technician at Model Works Media I was asked to interpret architect's drawings of commercial and residential projects to draw planes and layers which will be used to build a high-quality finish model at 1:100 scale. The work also involved cutting the drawn elements with a Trotec laser cutter and a CNC mill machine and use the appropriate programs. I was asked to work under tight deadlines, be highly organised and be extremely efficient at spatial reasoning.

All work was drawn by hand with an emphasis on design and space quality.
The programs were a mix of residential and institutional projects including a bird watching hut, a housing complex, a community library, a bank and finally a school. The designs had to take into consideration the context, the brief, accessibility, sustainability and passive design strategy as well as materiality and detail construction understanding.
Team work was also a major aspect of our curriculum.
