Through the six years I studied architecture in college to the multiple years of fulltime work, I've come to learn numerous tools and technologies that assist in design and also workflows. Programs like Photoshop, Indesign, Sketchup, AutoCad, Rhino, and Revit were all used.

Through the six years I studied architecture in college to the multiple years of fulltime work, I've come to learn numerous tools and technologies that assist in design and also workflows. Programs like Photoshop, Indesign, Sketchup, AutoCad, Rhino, and Revit were all used. However, one of the issues I realized was that many classes don't teach past the basics of these programs or technologies. Sometimes these aren't even taught at all. All of this is usually under the statement that programs like Revit "hinder design". I disagree with this statement. In my opinion, if you know how to use the program well, you can manipulate it do what you want. Not only this, but some programs like Revit can allow you to produce drawings and renderings in half the time.
In my professional career so far I've interned at an architecture firm doing design work while in college and then for a year full time afterwards. Following this I've worked at another firm on the support side as a design technologist. Here I developed the more technical sides of programs such as Revit worksharing, Autodesk Construction Cloud, VR, AR, AI, and rendering tools such as photoshop and Enscape.
Over the course of the last 10 years I've developed a way to learn and teach others about more technologies, both hardware and software, that can assist designers with their work, speed up workflows, and all around make them better designers.
