PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REFLECTIVE ESSAY SELF ASSESSMENT

7

Professional Development Since the last practice assessment, I have learned to balance things out between my professional and academic career. It has forced me to establish priorities during my tasks and also has provided me the ability to limit the underwhelming feeling when multitasking. By establishing a plan to follow and a clear set of goals to accomplish, I can fully achieve the present tasks while moving back and forth from both realms of my career. There are areas that I have immensely grown and improved as a designer. I have had the chance to present my work, dence to verbalize and articulate my ideas, both graphically and communicating. Also, I had the opportunity to micro-manage certain projects. There has been instances where I had to take the command of the project and lead the group to achieve the common goal and orgaOne of my biggest challenges has been to lead and manage, which is something I wanted to work on and improve. Since I have a background of graphic design from a previous job, I had the opportunity to lead on one of my Gateway’s project to organize the group’s ideas to create the proposal boards and administer the role of every person in the presentation. I used my abilities with software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, SketchUp, AutoCAD, and PowerPoint, as well as hand renderings and sketching, to create the illustrations and diagrams used to present our ideas to the clients.

8

My duties at work were varied and covered different facets, since my last practice assessment. and research of the way systems work together. I was able to do construction details if different instances and do forensic detail drawings, which constitute extensive research of materials and their assembly, along with a picture that shows the condition presented in the detail. The following Gateway project present a very diverse range of professional work. The project itself is a master plan for the town of Barnstable, MA. We were to redesign a green house, do an interior plan for an existing barn, and incorporate green strategies in the design such as rainwater collection, south orientation, and multi-functional spaces. tioned, I was in charge of the presentation, assigning the other team members their role in the presentation and hierarchy of it. Overall, my role consisted in measuring the existing structures and creating an as-build drawing of the barn & basement, researching water recollection and reuse strategies, pricing/budgeting of the system, and the design of a rain garden (which includes water recollection and rainwater runoff systems).

My current employment goes within the same lineage of my latest Gateway project. I am in charge of translating and digitalizing my boss’s design ideas. Also, I collaborated with my boss in presenting her proposals to clients. Taking my boss’s ideas to another level, I designed projects showing different schemes and iterations displaying various design possibilities. As part of my duties, I attended a permit meeting for an on-going project in Newton’s Town Hall. I range from an assorted sphere of the design realm.

Gann Residence Faithful Flowers Michael Gann Residential Newton, MA Designer The Gann’s residence is going through a major renovation and wanted to give the landscape an update as well. They wanted to create a green folliage barrier to have privacy from the neighbors. As part of my work, I consulted with Steve Woods, a landscape designer, in the most appropiate plants and their arrangements in order to achieve the owner’s desired privacy.

Design Skills The designated planting area ended up being smaller than originally planned. It proved to be challenging selecting the plants and the installation of those, as well. I had to constantly consult and collaborate with my boss Faith Michaels and landscape architect Steve Woods, both shown on the picture to the right, for the proper design strategies. It required a lot of planning because the house was being renovated and there contractors, carpenters, and painters, to name a few.

Technical Skills The methods used to develope the desired language to present it to the client was CAD drawing and Photoshop. I used Photoshop in the preliminary stages to illustrate a conceptual arrangement of the plants. AutoCAD allowed me to do a more precise planning and arrangement of the planting beds. As previously mentioned, I collaborated with other professionals.

This allowed me to understand the imporatnce of incorporating experts from other disciplines and listen to their advices.

Hanlon Residence Faithful Flowers Mitch Hanlon Residential Woban, MA Designer The client wanted to incorporate a terrace in the backyard, along with a seating area and a grilling area.

Planting beds were to be surrounding the proposed new terrace. Also, Mr. Hanlon wanted to replace the existing trees from the outside beds, with the exception of a big tree that was there which I labeled in the plan as “existing tree�. Another concern of the owner was to feature and not hide the existing tree in the backyard.

I made an opening in the seating wall that borders the terrace, which allows them to view and frame the tree from their living room.

Design Skills This project proved to be quite challenging because the client changed his mind frequently and wanted to see the changes in plans and renderings just as quick.

I provided a series of iterations appealing to the different desires and concerns of the client. In order to keep up with the rapid changes and meet the demands, I worked on various iterations at the same time. This proved to be very stringent and time consuming but helped me to time manage and mutli task.

Technical Skills The graphics method employed in this project mas mainly SketchUp and Photoshop. I personally went to the property to take measurements and take notes of the property and initial meeting with the client. These are techniques that I used in previous instances, both in the professional and academic realms.

Campbell Residence Faithful Flowers John Campbell Residential Brookline, MA Designer This private residence was going through various renovaand wanted to redevelope the existing terrace and incorporate an unused space in their backyard. A series of tion of the space, a pergola was inserted to accentuate the unused space to bring some activity in the area.

Design Skills Contrary to previous projects, this one was essentially easier. The experience of working on the other projects made decision-making and design strategies much more located in a corner of the terrace. Also, they wanted to maintain a planting bed adjacent to the house. I decided to accentuate that bed even more by making it wider and extending it towards an entrance of the house. There is an existing round water feature that we decided to uphold from the original design.

Detail/Intersection Gateway Project Marylin Moedinger & Jason Nieves Boston, MA Drafter/Designer

This project engages in construction details and drawing exercises, at the same time understanding how building systems work together while putting together drawing sets. It is primarily done in section and documentation of previous research. The drawing set is composed of three different parts: Part 1 is a set of fully annotated section details; Part 2 is a series of “forensic” drawings that explicitly illustrates how and why design decisions are made; and Part 3 is a series of “speculation” drawings that presents my proposal of a different system as an attempt to improve the current existing conditions.

Design Skills Periodically, I discussed my drawings with a civil engineer and discussions allowed me to present my work to different professionals while engaging in dynamic conversations of building construction. As a result, I was able to further understand methods of construction and the importance of consulting with professionals from other discipline

by another person prior to my employment at the various numbers that were miscalculated. I took the initiative of taking the AutoCAD location map plan and creating a tridimentional model to have a better understanding of the scale of the mountains, ridges, and valleys.

Designer Design Development Phase: re-design nary design was a very conceptual CAD drawing of the spaces. Mr. Rosado allowed me to rearrange with the collaboration of Mr. Rosado, a structural engineer, worked on establishing the structural grid. My role was limited to the Design Development of the project and the Construction Docuproject and show preliminary views to Mr. Rosado.

The source of inspiration towards the creation of the elevations originated from a very famous hacienda that dates from the 1700’s located in the same municipality. The hacienda is a traditional, gracefully simple island home build of wood, with a wide veranda and shuttered windows. Painted maintain the character of the hacienda as similar as possible, except the materiality which the stations are made out of concrete.

I was contacted by Mr. Alfonso in regard with a residential project his company was going to take and provided me the opportunity to join the team. I met with the clients and showed them a series of sketches with ideas for the street exposed main facades of the home.
