I held the dual positions of lead estimator and head of drafting/detailing at this custom architectural metal fabrication shop. The shop engages in projects of varying scopes and sizes, from custom light fixtures and hardware to prototype furniture and light fixtures, interior and exterior glazing systems, retail displays, art and sculpture pieces, stair systems, structural awnings, pergolas and landscape features, cladding panels and collaborative millwork pieces. Key clients and collaborators include Herzog & de Meuron, Roman & WIlliams, MADE Architecture, Workshop APD, Morris Adjmi, the Morgans Hotel Group, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Town & Gardens, the Foundations Group, and Faro Construction. As lead estimator, I represented the company in all client relations activities while leading the tasks of design analysis, RFI submission and coordination, and materials and labor costing. As head of drafting/detailing, I supervised multiple draftspersons and support staff in translating the visions of architects and designers to drawings for use on the shop floor. I cooperatively led all front end tasks such as site surveying, design development, detailing, materials and technology research, and scheduling. I also worked directly with the shop floor during the fabrication and installation process as a liason, providing quality control and ensuring that designs are fabricated to specification.

A full-service architecture firm rooted in the institutional and healthcare sectors, IDG has become a firm of choice for the small- to medium-sized build-out projects of local area institutions such as the Queens Public Library network , NYU Langone Medical Center and Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. I held the dual positions of lead designer and manager on multiple projects, including the JFK High School Campus Medical Clinic and the NYU Langone Study Center. Among other challenges, these projects required extensive coordination and balancing of complex equipment specifications, end user needs, budgetary constraints and design standards.

LowerNine.org is a non-profit group working in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward, comprised of volunteer builders and coordinators. The organization has been working to restore the neighborhood after the events during and since Hurricane Katrina. They provide free construction services to residents seeking to move back in to their homes, and work to educate residents on proper building practices in order to engage them in the overall process. In my capacity as a volunteer site manager, I led the renovation of two historic homes, establishing a dialog with the homeowners and leading groups of other volunteers in demolition, rough carpentry, finish carpentry, and all related tasks. Key challenges included the reconstruction of historic double-hung windows, the stabilization of water-damaged structural systems, the reproduction of interior and exterior millwork details, and the weatherproofing of existing and new exterior envelopes.

BAM Studio is a 12-person architecture firm focused mainly in the medical and corporate sectors. During my nearly three years at BAM I participated in every phase of architectural practice, serving first as designer/draftsperson and later as lead designer/project manager. I led multiple jobs through from conceptualization to closeout, and worked with project budgeting, client presentations, schematic design, site surveying, architectural programming, 3D rendering, community board presentations, equipment coordination, construction document and detail development, coordination with MEP and structural engineers, bid analysis, and construction administration. Significant projects that I have led are: Hospital for Joint Diseases Entry Canopy and Lobby Renovation, NYU/HJD Hammerman Pediatrics Unit, Westchester Medical Center Labor & Delivery Suite, and Westchester Medical Center Main Lobby renovation.

EarthTech is a multi-national architecture and engineering firm. They primarily focus on large-scale public sector projects, including rail stations, airports, water treatment plants and educational facilities. The office staff includes architects, engineers, environmental designers and preservation specialists, allowing the firm to participate in every aspect of project design and development. I participated in architectural and engineering drafting work, primarily focusing on the Tallman Island Water Treatment Plant and the late phases of the Whitehall Staten Island Ferry Terminal.

This design/build company specializes in the acquisition, stabilization and reconstruction of distressed industrial properties, and strives to create environmentally sustainable end products. As a fabricator and laborer I participated in all phases of the design/build process, from site condition assessment, design conception, demolition, stabilization, rough construction and site work, detailing and finish carpentry. The majority of my time was spent on two projects: the conversion of an abandoned factory to a zero-energy multi-unit residential development, and the fit-out of a single-family residential loft conversion.

I served as an apprentice at this sculpture studio, which specializes in large-scale public art projects. We worked primarily with glass panels, steel cables and metal fastening systems, creating tensile structural systems. Due to the size of the pieces, we often had to coordinate with structural engineers and architects in planning the projects. I participated in the fabrication of pieces as well as the production of computer models to be used for proposal presentations. I also participated in the rehabilitation of the studio building itself, a former chocolate factory, learning the disciplines of carpentry, masonry repair, concrete construction and metalwork.
