Work Experience

Architect at 809 Ingenieurs- en Technisch Bureau
September 1, 2021 - March 1, 2025
In collaboration with senior architects I prepared and presented three interior proposals with attention to spatial layout, material choices, and color schemes aligned with client wishes. I helped develop detailed construction plans for three mixed-use projects, compliant with local building regulations and accessibility standards, leading to full approval by the municipal council. I implemented a standardized AutoCAD template to improve design consistency and reduce drafting errors by 15%, resulting in fewer project delays. I produced high-quality 3D models in Revit and renderings in Lumion, presented in three client presentations, and received praise for clearly communicating complex concepts through visuals.
