VISBEEN ARCHITECTS : Project Designer
In my role as project designer, I primarily translated hand drawn sketches by Wayne Visbeen into digital 3D models and 2D drawings with ArchiCAD. Throughout the iterative design process, I worked with senior architects and clients to bring designs from concepts to working construction documents for builders to utilize.
For a majority of the projects displayed below, I made adjustments to the existing model produced by a senior architect and completed the project's construction documents. This involved navigating the model in both 3D and 2D to better understand the structure, as well as enhance the aesthetics of the home with decorative trim details. I assisted senior architects with notes, dimensions, and sheet layouts to communicate clear information for builder reference. I also researched local zoning ordinances to verify lot coverage and setback adherence.

I worked on some projects from the schematic design phase, to design completion, and through the final construction documents. By participating in this process from start to finish, I learned how to modify plans to fit the personal desires of clients, while advocating for my own design expertise and finding creative solutions to accommodate both. I navigated the balance of beautiful design aesthetics, functional spaces, and structural integrity. Most of these projects were renovations and additions, for which I also conducted field measurements and zoning reports to verify existing conditions.
