My professional journey in the industry took off right after obtaining my Bachelor of Architecture. My first step was an internship at an interior design firm located in Wall Street's bustling financial district. This role had me frequently visiting landmarks like the D&D Building (now known as the A&D Building) and the New York Design Center to collect memo samples and specification sheets, providing a solid foundation in the field. My role expanded significantly when I transitioned to an architectural firm in vibrant Midtown.
There, I was involved in various phases of architectural projects—from drafting RFPs and presenting conceptual designs to design development, developing detailed construction drawings, and conducting job site visits and surveys, all the way through to substantial completion. After gaining substantial experience in design, I found myself drawn to explore another dimension of the industry. This led me to the architectural sales sector, opening up a new chapter in my career and offering a fresh perspective on the industry that I'm deeply passionate about.
