STATEMENT

Over the course of my academic career I have demonstrated a consistent work ethic and ability to manage my time effectively. I have been involved in various industries at different capacities whilst at university, allowing me to develop important transferable skills in customer-orientated roles. This development has resulted in my becoming a confident and personable individual with a diligent work ethic. Operating under the Data Protection Act 2018 to gather sensitive information also demonstrates that I can operate at a high-standard of professionalism. Moreover, a varied work history has proven I am a very trainable and can effectively work and build rapport with colleagues and customers.  

As a result of market conditions I was unable to secure direct architectural experience, however, I used that as an opportunity to pursue other ways to progress. To this extent, I used my time to become well informed on the current architectural trends and developed my historical understanding of the profession through literature. This improved my general approach to projects and gave me a greater confidence to talk about and carry out informed and meaningful work. 

I completed my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Edinburgh and I am currently completing my Master’s of Architecture from the University of Strathclyde. Throughout the course of my six years of education, I have become proficient in Rhinocerous3D as a tool for both technical drawings and 3D-modelling. The knowledge has also allowed me to understand Revit and AutoCAD but I require further practice to be deemed proficient. Furthermore, I am well versed with the Adobe Suite, predominantly using Illustrator and Photoshop to refine renders and InDesign to collate work to a professional standard.  

Additionally, by combining a more artistic and theoretical approach to design from the Edinburgh College of Art with the more pragmatic emphasis on structure and material from the Engineering Department of the University of Strathclyde, I have gained a well-rounded education, which has prepared me with the knowledge required for my professional career which I am very keen to commence.
