I am Baudoin Fort - an Architectural Designer practicing in New York City for the past few years. My goal is to join a firm with strong expertise and aesthetics where I can advance my career and work with a team of talented and dedicated people.
Previously employed at GPIDC, I have produced various design projects from high-end interior renovations to an entire house inspired by English country style, French Neoclassicism, and Bauhaus Modernism. I performed as the leader in my firm to solve design issues with creative and practical solutions to prepare drawing sets for approval by the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB). I have developed a client-oriented work ethic through active participation in meetings, negotiation, and on-site visits. I am proved to be a team player through my collaboration with others on numerous projects, both in school and in my professional work. My strong skills in utilizing software such as Autodesk, Adobe, and other graphics communication programs enable me to bring concepts to life.
