At Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill, I worked as a Junior Architect on a team of Design Architects focused on the design of high-rise buildings and developments. My specific project assignment was a residential tower at Manhattan West, a development in New York's Hudson Yards District. This project has since been completed. I was one of a team of five Design Architects assigned to the project, and worked through schematic and design development phases of the project. Responsibilities included conceptual design of building site, base, and facade. Responsibilities also included coordination with SOM's in-house teams of Technical Architects, Engineers, Project Managers, and Design Architects of other components of the development (i.e. Office Towers), as well as out-of-house coordination with Interior Architects and Landscape Architects. Additionally, I helped compile and present at bi-weekly presentations with the developer. While at SOM, I also worked on the construction document phase of a Class A Office and Luxury Hotel Complex in Shenzhen, China. Additionally, I participated in a voluntary research project on Residential Tower Base Conditions in New York City and also participated in regular firm wide lecture series and events.

At Eric Cohler Design, I worked as an Associate Designer paired with the firm's Senior Managing Director. Working at Eric Cohler Design allowed me to fully utilize degrees in Art, Interior Design, and Architecture. Responsibilities included assisting in design and management of multiple, multi-million dollar, high-end residential projects. Project involvement ranged from gut renovations and construction to selection of furniture, fabrics, and decoration to consultation and selection of fine art. During my time at Eric Cohler Design, I was also exposed to product design, collaborations with developers, PR and marketing, accounting and billing management, and many other experiences unique to a boutique firm.
