About 

 

     I am currently interested in a full time entry level position that will further develop my design skills.

     Obtaining my bachelors degree in Interior Design with an emphasis in Architecture has prepared me to work productively in the design field. I have gained ample knowledge in the development of construction documents, space planning, LEED building materials, and designing with a concept that has allowed me to design efficiently. I have completed many class projects such as residential, retail, community spaces, and offices spaces that have provided me with a breadth of semi-professional experience in designing.

 

     Due to the large workloads I was given in the Interior Design Program I have learned how to manage my time and produce exceptional designs. Working with a state agency in the human resources branch has given me the insight on how an office is possibly run and the protocols to being professional. Partaking in an internship working side by side space planners has given me the chance to gain a more in-depth understanding of designing for commercial offices and the state codes that must be adhered to.  Overall my education and experiences have given me the tools to work productively in the design field.
