As a passionate and curious individual, I am constantly driven to improve, learn, and explore the diverse practices and disciplines within the design field. My journey is fueled by a curiosity for innovation and a desire to create modern, inviting designs characterized by open layouts and contemporary aesthetics. In my pursuit, I am focused on shaping the future of residential and retail projects, by learning and diving into advanced software such as AI/VR to craft visually captivating experiences that effectively engage users and elevate their overall interaction.
Interboro Partners, Brooklyn, NY, US, Architectural Intern
As an Intern Architect, I played a crucial role in supporting various architectural projects and design initiatives. I developed and organized an 80-page construction drawing set for a 30% project submission, ensuring accuracy and adherence to project requirements. To enhance project workflows, I curated and refined CAD templates, blocks, Xrefs, and redlined drawings, optimizing comprehensive construction sheets for diverse projects.
In addition, I designed graphic elements for Request for Proposal (RFP) reports, including site plans, building diagrams, stakeholder analysis, and other essential architectural deliverables. I actively participated in design meetings, offering valuable insights such as design input, variations, and precedent research to senior designers and architects during the conceptualization and planning phases.
Moreover, I applied GIS spatial mapping techniques to conduct in-depth mapping studies, illustrating citywide planning patterns and contributing to informed decision-making in urban planning and design. This role allowed me to develop a comprehensive skill set in architectural design, project management, and technical drawing, while also enhancing my ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
Rutgers University Institutional Planning and Operations, Newark, NJ, US, Office Intern
As an Office Intern, I supported project documentation through on-site visits, capturing key images that served as references for progress assessment, challenge identification, and decision-making. I ensured the precision and adherence of CAD drawings to project specifications by conducting redlined revisions.
Additionally, I managed worksite logistics and provided office support for eight project managers specializing in various fields, including architecture, engineering, and information technology. I assisted with scheduling, coordination, and technical matters, ensuring smooth operations and efficient collaboration across diverse disciplines. This role allowed me to develop skills in project documentation, CAD drawing accuracy, and multi-disciplinary coordination.
