I am a soon-to-be Spring 2024 graduate from the University of Tennessee’s Bachelor of Architecture program. In preparation for that, I am actively searching for a post-graduate job within the architecture/design field.
Within my five years spent at university, I have developed especial talents in 3d modeling software, dense linework, and speculative research/design. These skills have earned me multiple scholarships, a 2-year job under Kevin Stevens within the college, and the 2023 Architecture at Zero Undergraduate Merit Award for “frAm3.”
My broader interests include game design, 3d asset modeling, digital culture, and uncanny or unrealistic items. I am highly interested in a firm that challenges our typical design and social norms through more speculative representation; a firm that is not afraid to stray from strict building creation is one that I would be especially invested in. However, I am still highly interested in built design that accomplishes similar goals of challenging the status quo.
With these interests and goals in mind, location is secondary. I am a Nashville native who, while always happy to get away, would be satisfied with a position near my family and home turf.
I am eager to discuss more about my goals, projects, and larger interests with potential firms. Please feel free to contact me via email (jordanezz02@gmail.com)
