Objective
To join an Architectural Firm in the Retail, Hospitality or Residential sector where my initiative,
ideas, genuine enthusiasm and contribution will ultimately allow me to progress beyond the
duties of a CAD Operator into a more creative position.

2007: Inscape Design College

Modules included:
Standard Drawing Conventions Introduction to Council Submissions &
Construction

Final project: The aim was to design a single family residence, draw up council plans, build a
model and create 3d renderings and elevations. We were given the choice of doing the
drawings in either traditional or digital media. I opted to do the plans and schedules in AutoCAD
2006 and the presentation drawings in 3ds Max 2006, which allowed me to extend my skills in
other post-production software, such as Adobe Photoshop. I achieved above average marks for
this project.
