I am a hardworking and passionate architect with almost three years’ experience working on a range of projects from luxury urban and beach houses, university extensions, office buildings, renovations and interior design. Having worked at a small, award-winning firm focusing on thoughtful detailing, client-specific design and contextual response, I was given the opportunity to learn quickly and engage in many aspects of the profession. Work included drafting and coordination of projects, from sketch design phase to Local Authority submissions, detail design development, presentation drawings, construction drawings and site inspection.
Since graduating from the University of Cape Town, South Africa with a Master’s degree in Architecture, I have worked and travelled which has given me the advantage of experiencing the varied nature of space and architecture in different countries with different cultures.
Having dual Swiss and South African citizenship has allowed me the opportunity to move to Europe to work and live and I am committed to building a career and home for myself in Barcelona, a city which has inspired me greatly. With English as my native language and with a talent at writing and editing, I believe I would be an asset to your international firm. I am currently learning Spanish (level B1/B2) and am able to communicate in the language gaining fluency with practice.
In conjunction with excellent technical and computer skills, I am also skilled and fast at free-hand sketching, physical model-making and Photoshop and InDesign presentations and layout design. I have advanced knowledge of AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, Adobe and SketchUp and have worked with Revit throughout my university years and other graphic communication programs, learning quickly. I am highly organised and enjoy implementing office systems which, for me, is an essential aspect and contributor to the efficiency and accuracy of a job.
I have an affinity toward attention to detail and have strong communication skills giving me confidence in presentations and engaging with all professionals involved. I am excellent at working as a team which is one of the aspects of the design process I enjoy most and my positive and passionate nature are qualities that will be an asset to your firm.
I am open to work of all kinds, be it part-time, temporary or permanent and have a laptop with all relevant programs, allowing me to work remotely.
