AIA & NCARB
PROFILE I’m a Project Architect with eight years of experience. I’m highly motivated and have strong problem-solving, communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills. I have a diverse portfolio, including new construction and existing, and a great deal of experience with multi-family housing, mixed-use, hotels, civic, and retail projects to name a few. In addition, adaptive reuse of historic buildings has been a specialty of mine. Within the office, I have experience in leadership, marketing, new business development, and administration. Outside of the office, I participate in local and national community events and organizations.
EXPERIENCE Dimension IV-Madison / Madison, WI / 11.2014 - 8.2019 + Title: Project Architect + Project Types: Adaptive Reuse, Historic Rehabilitation, New Construction; Mixed-Use, Multi-Family Housing, Office, Civic, Retail, Hospitality + Experience: I worked on a wide range of projects spanning from a barn renovation to a 250,000 square foot adaptive reuse, multi-family, historic rehabilitation. I carried projects from schematic design through the end of construction. I worked independently, within teams, and led teams to produce concept sketches, renderings, material boards, marketing materials, specifications, and construction documents. During construction administration I was responsible for responding to RFIs and submittals. I prepared submittal documents for local and national agencies, including design commissions, code reviews, and historic reviews. Most recently, I was the lead on one of the firm’s larger projects, taking it from schematic design through construction administration. I was also the primary contact for the clients, contractors, and consultants. While at Dimension IV I gained experience working with a traditional project method, as well as alternatives, including design-build and integrated project delivery. Within the office I was fortunate to have participated in business development, marketing, mentoring, activity planning, interviewing job candidates, onboarding new staff, in-house education, and staff management.

I worked with teams on a number of projects from schematic design through construction administration. I was integral in the production of concept sketches, programmatic layouts, coordination documents, design documents, and construction documents.
