VANCOUVER TOWERS
Revit, AutoCAD Arcadis IBI - 2021
This mixed-use residential project is located outside of Vancouver in Burquitlam. It consists of 3 towers and a mid-rise apartment building. I provided some useful experience working on large projects, especially working at such a large scale with a multi-level underground parkade. I personally modelled most of the interior and exterior of the largest tower (40 levels).

EDM. LRT STATIONS
Revit, AutoCAD Arcadis IBI - 2021
I got the opportunity to work on many of the new Edmonton Valley Line LRT stations such as Churchill, Davies, Muttart, and Quarters. This included working on the floor plans, ceiling plans and drafting many of the architectural sketches required during CA phase.

OUTDOOR SEATING 03
Revit, Enscape
Arcadis IBI - 2022
Here’s a proposal for an outdoor seating area and plaza located between office buildings in downtown Edmonton. I designed the seating area to accomodate office workers during their lunch break. The design worked with the existing structures and walking paths while mainting minimum disruption. The design was modelled in Revit and rendered in Enscape.

EDWIN PARR SCHOOL 05
AutoCAD
Arcadis IBI - 2018
I worked on this primary school project from inception to completion. I was in charge of producing plan and detail drawings using AutoCAD. On this project I gained experience coordinating with engineering consultants and remedying issues with the contractor. I primarily worked on the floor plans, ceiling plans elevations and helped with these select details. Initial design, photos and renders were done by Group2 Architecture.

Arcadis IBI - 2018
This recration complex was an addition to an existing recreation facility so it presented unique challenges connecting the two structures. I assisted in producing site plans, floor plans, sections and joinery drawings model for this project in Revit. It also allowed me to expand on my experience producing revit families for custom millwork items. Additionally, I produuced multiple sketches during the construction administration phase.

Revit, AutoCAD Dialog - 2018/2019
During my time working at Dialog between school semesters, I worked on a new bus station project. The site presented some unique challenges due to the harsh weather and transient circulation. My role was to establish a preliminary Revit model, create unique families and coordinate with Structural engineers. I primarily worked on the floor plans, ceiling plans, and elevations.
