About 

Hello! My name is Akshara Raman and I am a 5th year architecture student at Syracuse University.  I am currently looking for full time positions where I can contribute with my physical and digital skills. 

I am proficient in Rhino, Revit, and AutoCad, along with Adobe Suite software like Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. I have physical skills as well including hand drawing and model making. I am also a LEED Green Associate, and I hope to be able to contribute what I have learned from that into my work. 

I am passionate about being creative. I channel this through art and my architectural projects. I am looking forward finding a position that will allow me to use my skills and learn new ones, both digitally and physically, to help create something worthwhile.
