I am a passionate, creative and dedicated person who is looking for a full-time position as an intern architect in a firm where I can be challenged and grow as a designer and technical architect.
I enjoy and work well in collaborative and team environments but I also have the confidence ability to take on projects on my own. I have proven with the various collaborative and freelance projects I have been involved with.
The new and unfamiliar motivates me to learn and to spread knowledge to others. Which is why I continue to learn new software and teach them.
I am interested in:
• Mixed use complexes
• Residential
• Social gathering spaces
• Interiors
• Renovations, expansions and conversions
• Sustainable
• Urban community planning and design
My experience with Architecture and Construction:
• Consulting
• Designing
• Condo units
• Single family homes
• Client meetings
• Drafting and the preparation of permit drawings
• Product Research
My experience with Project Management
• Managing a marketing team and the marketing efforts for the Toronto Urban Photography Festival
• Social media marketing
• Experiential marketing
• Print media
I am registered as an Intern Architect with the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) and I am eligible to work in European Union countries, Canada and the United States.
I know my name is a mouth full so if Golrokh does not role off your tongue, I also answer to Goldie. Feel free to send me a message and visit my on-line portfolio at www.GolrokhKeshavarz.com. I am always happy to connect with new people.
