I am a recent architecture graduate with strong technical skills and self-motivation from the University of Minnesota, and now seeking opportunities in design field.
Primarily, as an architecture student, my skills at design tools are without question. Through the college, I have more than 3 years experience in Adobe Creative Suites, Rhino and Lumion, and 2 years experience in Revit, AutoCAD and SketchUP as well as other secondary design programs. Furthermore, I was always asked to be thoughtful and critical to fulfill clients’ needs during the design process. Therefore, I do pay attention to details which are very important in a real project. In my opinion, sometimes it is much easier for people to notice what you did wrong than what you did well. Hence details do matter much in this field. Secondly, my previous experience, like interns in multiple design disciplines, have taught me what qualified designers are and the basic knowledge of how to work in and with a team. Lastly, I have strong self-motivation and communication skills proven by continuing seeking chances to engage in realistic design field during my summer internship experience. I also took a community design practice course in the college to obtain a better chance to design for a real client. With such self-motivation, I am currently pursuing an opportunity to enhance my professional skills and starting out the career.
