As a Workplace Designer I engaged with dealerships selling architectural walls to help drive business by defining needs and creatively finding solutions.

In this role I managed Revit content creation for Allsteel furniture product portfolio, developed SketchUp standard work for Allsteel's furniture Typicals Gallery, and trained internal and dealer design teams on SketchUp. This was also the start of my software development testing experience for Beyond Designer, a Revit plug-in for architectural walls specification and visualization.
