Hello Archinect World!
My name is Mallorie and I'm a young designer in Colorado. In 2014 I graduated from the Environmental Design program at CU with an emphasis in Architecture along with a minor in Technology, Arts & Media. My ENVD background has lead me to a full time position as a lighting designer for a small lighting showroom in Boulder. I've also had the opportunity to work as an interior design assistant, where my primary role was 3D modeling and spatial planning.
In my free time I enjoy trail running, playing sports and experimenting with web development. I like to consider myself a well rounded team player who's always up for a challenge and learning new things.

My original role at Haven was primarily CAD modeling, as time has gone on I have proven my ability to take on more responsibilities.

Keeping client folders organized is also one of my primary roles. From initial intake to final execution it is critical for us to keep a detailed record of what goes on throughout a project.
