Architectural Designer
Mar 2022 - now
- Translated operational and engineering requirements into test-fit plans with circulation, equipment, access, and life-safety constraints; made spatial trade-offs visible before the team committed detailed design effort.
- Maintained coordinated Revit models and drawing sets across architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and process inputs; resolved model conflicts before issue rather than transferring them to the field.
- Reviewed plans against building, fire, accessibility, and owner standards with a documented code matrix; linked each compliance decision to the applicable requirement and reviewer.
- Coordinated Revit plans, sections and schedules against the site brief, checked egress and accessibility dimensions, and carried consultant comments into the issued drawing set.
- Owned a Revit coordination check using building-code constraints, resolved a structural clearance conflict and completed construction documents for licensed-architect review.
- Published AutoCAD detail revisions using measured site constraints, reduced repeated drawing queries by 22% and retained the approved budget and schedule assumptions.

Architectural Designer
Jan 2019 - Feb 2022
- Processed field questions and design changes through revision-controlled sketches, approvals, and as-built updates. Kept construction decisions traceable from request through final documentation.
- Reconciled consultant comments across plans, sections and schedules, checked the drawing revision against the approved scope, and recorded the outstanding site question before issue.
- Compared a site query with the issued drawing set, checked the affected dimensions with the relevant discipline, and issued a marked-up clarification through the project’s document-control process before work resumed.
Selected project
Architectural Designer — independent case study
Project owner
Feb 2024 - Jun 2024
- Reviewed plans against building, fire, accessibility, and owner standards with a documented code matrix
- Used a clearly hypothetical site brief to coordinate a plan, section and schedule; documented dimensions, access constraints and assumed services so another reviewer could trace the same design decision across drawings.
- Prepared a coordination issue register linking the conflict to its drawing reference, proposed resolution and reviewer; distinguished a portfolio study from permit-ready or construction-approved documents.
- Owned the independent drawing coordination using a fixed site brief, resolved a dimensional conflict and completed an annotated revision set for professional review.
