Summary
I am an architecture student at the University of Michigan, eager to gain hands-on experience in architectural design across a variety of roles. I have four years of experience in traditional hand drafting as well as digital drafting using Revit. Experience in wooden framing. I’ve applied these skills as a paid design intern at an architecture firm, where my work has been published and used in client-facing materials. In addition, I have experience in campus marketing, promoting sustainable design courses for the Regeneration Field Institute.
