Architecture+Interiors, History+Writing, Graphic Design

I received my B.ARCH from one of the country's top schools for Architecture, as well as receiving a minor in History. I am a firm believer in that the best way to learn something, especially a computer program, is to learn by doing, and have taught myself a number of programs, as well as having taken courses throughout school. My well rounded education provided me with the knowledge of a number of computer programs related to design and presentation, including 3d modeling, rendering, photo editing, drafting, and other elements. Currently I am employed as an architectural designer at a top NYC architecture and interiors firm.

During high-school I was top of my class, and my favorite subject was History. I was an International Baccalaureate scholar as well as an AP student, and I received high scores in History and English. My writing skills and my ability to organize my thoughts and information pertaining to literature and history stuck with me through college, and have helped me in a number of other subjects. I minored in History, and have always held an interest in that subject. I know that for many students history comes last, and is of no interest whatsoever, thus making the information harder to grasp and even harder to put into an essay that makes sense. I am not a certified teacher, but I have helped my brother and cousins get through high-school and get into college. They started with very low grades and we were able to pull them out of a major slump and get a GPA that was worthy of an acceptance into higher education.

Architecturally I use 2D and 3D programs on a daily basis. AutoCAD, Rhino, Revit, Sketchup, ect I am VERY familiar with. If you are looking for a tutorial on how to get started with these programs, or need help with homework for a specific class, I am definitely someone who can help.

Part of my architectural education was based around presentation graphics, graphic essays, and graphic representation. Thus I have become very familiar with Adobe Creative Suite, namely Photoshop, Illustrator and In Design, as well as with putting together graphic presentations, Logos, and layouts.

I am also an avid traveler, and have spent a lot of time abroad. My love for history, as well as the arts, has made experiencing other cultures a very important part of my life. Originally from the west coast, I am an outgoing person and would love to help make things easier for you or your child even if it is something as simple as writing a history essay, studying for history AP or IB exams, or learning AutoCAD or Rhino 3d programs for college courses!

Feel free to get in touch with me about any questions you may have!

American History

My knowledge of history spans from when I was in high-school through to my minor in college. I was an International baccalaureate scholar as well as an AP student and received very high scores on both my exams. History is more then just developing a database of facts, it is about understanding sequences of events, politics, and reasoning behind why people did things. Usually one can trace the effects of a single decision through decades, and being able to organize this information and analysis... Read More

Writing

Writing has been a skill of mine ever since I was young. In middle school I was writing at a high-school level, and I always received very high marks on essays and other assignments that required putting thoughts on paper.

Whether it is History or English, or some sort of varied theory class or college entrance essay, I can help. There are many ways to structure ones thoughts, and depending on the type of essay various approaches can warrant different results. I can help determine... Read More

Adobe Photoshop

Photoshop is a complex program, and once you get passed the basics the things you can do with it still amaze me daily. I use it extremely often to fix up a basic rendering or photo, and the graphic manipulation that you can do with the program is amazing. From basic color changing and selection, to photo manipulation, filters, and layering, the program is very complex once you delve into the other things that can be done.

It is possible to take an interior shot that is flat and dull,... Read More

Adobe Illustrator

I am very familiar with the Adobe Creative Suite, Illustrator being one of my top programs. From using it to create basic diagrams to graphic design and vector manipulation, there are so many ways that illustrator can be used. Architectural plans are often made much nicer through the use of the line weight tool, or the layering and development of a rendering can be manipulated using both Photoshop and Illustrator at the same time.

With the newer version allowing for more control and... Read More

AutoCAD

I haven been using AutoCAD since I was in high-school, when I was taking a CAD class as a professional elective. Since then, I have taken a number of courses as well as having used it almost every day in school and in my professional practices.

A few of the many elements that I can help with are x-refing, plot-styles, sheet set up, blocks, layers, image referencing, importing and exporting to and from programs such as Revit, Rhino, and Adobe Illustrator, typical office use, general... Read More

Adobe InDesign

Adobe InDesign is any design student's go-to program for presentations or portfolios. I have used it from CS2 through to CS5, and am familiar with everything from creating templates, page set up and layouts, using it along with other adobe programs, photo and text editing within InDesign, as well as a number of other elements.

I also use it daily in my office for presentations.

Macintosh

I switched from a PC to a Mac in 2006, and have since used my personal computer all throughout school as well as in professional situations. I am very fluent in navigating both a Mac and PC, and if you have recently switched over and are looking for a basic tutorial or a more in depth answer to questions you may have I am here to help. I can set up programs, provide instruction on how to use the computer and specific programs that come installed.

To clarify, I am not an IT person; if... Read More

Revit

Revit is a very complex program, and my understanding of it grows every day I use it, and I have been working in it consistently for months. One of the most difficult parts of the program to understand is how to use it in an office environment where others are contributing to it, as well as with Linked models from consultants. I can get you started with the basics and the interface, and then help you understand families and editing the model in place, as well as setting up drawing sets and sheets... Read More

Architecture

After receiving my B.Arch. from one of the top schools in the country, I have a well rounded education including architectural theory and writing, architectural history in a number of various eras, as well as design.

I am very competent in almost all aspects related to the architectural field, including those which are required to work in an architectural office.
