In developing as an individual at Pratt Institute, traveling the world, and now as a design professional having worked and lived in NYC & LA, I am interested in how a design can be integrated into the site, the human body, and the mind. It is highly intriguing to me when interdisciplinary studies can influence architectural design, especially through sustainable practices. I look forward to the architectural boundaries that can be broken in the future of my career endeavors.
I am currently open to contract/freelance work opportunities that are fully remote.
TPG Architecture, New York, NY, US, Project Professional
Office Interiors / Technical Drafting & Modeling / Construction Administration
I developed skills to produce detailed construction documents and guided projects to completion with high end clients and large scale corporate projects in NYC/CT/LA. Day to day, I collaborated with team members and our clients in order to bring their vision to life. I oversaw fast paced and complex construction details including millwork and finishes. I also worked with numerous consultants such as lighting, engineering, structural, etc. Due to the project sizes and quick turnarounds, I became proficient in Revit (core/shell and interior) project modeling, BIM360, and AutoCAD. Lastly, I managed a large volume of submittals/RFI's for various projects in Procore & Archinet.
