I'm a multidisciplinary designer with schooling and experience in architecture.
Over the last 2 years I have been freelancing as a 3d artist working on a wide range of visualization projects like music videos, show visuals, album artwork, and product rendering. I am interested in using my specific vision and experience in a role that fits.

KOO LLC, Chicago, Junior Designer
I worked at KOO Architecture for almost 2 years, where I got to engage in every facet of the construction process. I did a lot of work with CPS to help renovate dilapidated schools, as well as other miscellaneous concept jobs. In the office, I specialized in visualization and am hoping to use these skills, along with my construction skills, in the future. I was furloughed in August due to a Covid-induced lack of work.
Nelligan White Architects, New York, NY, US, Architectural Intern
My last internship was at Nelligan White in New York City. Here I developed further proficiency in AutoCAD and site measurement taking. I worked a lot with NYCHA on low-income housing projects, and designed interior layouts for units in order to maximize valuable space.
bKL Architecture LLC, Chicago, IL, US, Architectural Intern
My second internship was at bKL Architecture in Chicago. Aside from falling in love with the city and solidifying my decision to move there after graduation, I feel I learned the most at this job. For the first half of the semester I was in Revit, helping to design and clean up BIM models for multiple skyscraper projects, as well as composing presentation diagrams in Illustrator and Photoshop. I learned a lot about file synchronization and group design workflow this way. For the remainder of the semester I asked if I could work in the in-house model shop. We had access to a laser cutter and 3d printer which was an absolute dream for me. I got to experiment with different methods of model making, both hand and machine-assisted.
The Architectural Group, Dayton, Architectual Intern
My first internship was at The Architectural Group in Dayton, Ohio, my hometown. I mostly worked on AutoCAD elevations and plans of historic houses in the many historic districts of Dayton. I spent my time doing site visits and taking measurements and photos in order to reconstruct accurate digital plans and elevations for further renovation design purposes.
