About 

I have recently completed my masters degree in architecture and I'm currently on the look out for a graduate position.

On my architecture journey so far,  I have worked on a variety of projects. In each of these projects, I have endeavoured to incorporate various environmental strategies relevant to the building context. In my final design project, for example, I incorporated a water source heat pump to take advantage of the location of the site which was beside River Lea. Another was my live-work-play complex, details of this are in my portfolio.

 I have developed knowledge of sustainability, technical detailing and conceptualisation techniques and a desire to create designs with strong technical underpinning and justifications. In addition to this, have extensive experience with a broad range of design and management software including AutoCAD, Revit, Lumion and Adobe Suite. Working in a practice setting has also helped me gain an understanding of designing commercial and mixed-use schemes both as renovations and new builds such as the Panseke (a commercial bank branch development) and Sadex Boutique (a dressmaking factory) projects in my portfolio. I am fluent in written and spoken English and have been known to create and deliver excellent project presentations both in and outside the classroom. Asides from English, I have a basic knowledge of French and am able to converse in and read the language.    

Asides from my training as an architect, I am a self-taught graphic designer at (www.oluwaseeto.com). Balancing this with my studies as a student has helped me become excellent at multitasking and working unsupervised to meet deadlines on various projects and commissions. I also write from time to time about architecture on my blog http://www.oluwaseeto.com/blog/
