Sowinski Sullivan Architects, Sparta, NJ, US, Project Designer
I have grown quite a bit at this transportation architecture firm. I started here as an intern right after completing my second year of Architecture School. I was then hired post-graduation after my Sustainability Consultant experience at HDR. Throughout my 5 years at Sowinski Sullivan I have been fortunate to be exposed to numerous jobs of many types - train stations, bus stations/facilities, transit stop canopies, subway platforms, & more - from new construction, renovations, expansions, to design build contracts. These jobs have also allowed my technical skill set to grow across many programs and platforms (Revit, AutoCad, Microstation, Bluebeam, & the Creative Cloud). I work directly under Project Managers to assist in modeling, CD development, CA services, cross-disciplinary coordination, and implementation of client requests. Company leaders also rely on me for graphic and conceptually driven deliverables specifically.
HDR, New York, NY, US, Sustainability Consultant
I earned this internship through a competition (Innovation 2030: AIA COTE Top Ten Student Design Competition 2017-2018). Part of each teams award was a summer internship at any of the top 40 Sustainability Firms in the country. During my short time at HDR I collaborated with the dedicated Sustainability Team on tasks such as daylighting, shading, and radiation simulations and analysis, as well as overall support on energy modeling. In addition to the technical support I just listed, 25% of my time was spent doing Research & Development on Regenerative Design. As an experience, it was more valuable than words could describe.
Marywood University, Scranton, PA, US, BArch, Architecture
My passion for publicly driven, regenerative urbanism from an architectural perspective was first realized during the 4th year of my Bachelor of Architecture program, as my full portfolio demonstrates. That passion grew, and was eventually nationally recognized for my teams submission in AIA’s COTE : Innovation 2030 competition. I am a heavily concept driven thinker, but my mind is also drawn to detail; my well balanced time in academia and professional practice is what I can thank for those qualities.

2018 COTE Top Ten for Students: INNOVATION 2030 Competition, Award
Pier 55: South Philadelphia Community Center (refer to full Portfolio - Section 1.2)
The competition recognizes ten exceptional studio projects that demonstrate designs moving towards carbon-neutral operation through creative and innovative integration of design strategies such as daylighting, passive heating and cooling, materials, water, energy generation, and sustainable systems. The program challenged students to submit projects that use a thoroughly integrated approach to architecture, natural systems, and technology to provide architectural solutions that protect and enhance the environment.
