Key Skills:

Presentation + ComputerAided Design

Design Ability + Creativity

Professionalism

Communication +Organisation

- Ability to extensively model projects both physically and virtually to clearly communicate ideas in combination with verbal and written descriptions- I can artistically and competently use software packages such as Vectorworks, SketchUp Pro, Autodesk Ecotect, Autocad, Artlantis Studio and the Adobe Suite (Illustrator and Photoshop)- Some of my best work was selected as part of the University of Sheffield annual architecture exhibition. I also use my skills to teach CAD programs to other students.

- A strong appreciation for contextual analysis and research and how this leads to a comprehensive design strategy through academic project- Understanding the constraints of building regulations and a given brief, and that my creativity and innovation can coexist with a practical design- Keeping updated with new projects and sustainable technologies by extended reading- Regularly exploring ideas outside of the studio through architectural competitions

- Experience of daily operation within architectural practices- Ability to work independently and collectively with a variety of expertise on a project- Awareness of sustainable technologies from attending CPD (Continuing Professional Development) meetings

- Self-motivated to work independently and have excellent time management- My character enables me to work with a diversity of people with ease so I can adapt to lead and work as part of a team- Through peer reviews and group projects I have learned how to constructively critique whilst still encouraging others
