Experience
Interior Designer
I was exposed to retail design with the following brands: KFC, Academy of Sound Engineering, Carl Zeiss, Dewalt, Ellies, Total Petroleum.
Architectural Technologist
- Various risk work projects of a corporate nature, where I learned to hone on design and representation skills, and work under intense pressure. Every risk project presented itself with unique and sometimes quirky challenges, which were always fun to resolve. Paragon lends itself to attracting large assignments, allowing me to test ideas in larger scale. - Working drawings for Park Central, a 20 storey residential building in Rosebank. Here I was exposed to the methodical process of construction documentation for a ‘live’ project. This was a great opportunity to work with seasoned architects and improve my discipline to the details and assemblage of material. The sheer size of Park Central is notable and I look forward to seeing it’s completion later this year.
Architectural Draughting Facilitator
I facilitated Inscape’s architectural draughting night course. Using my previous knowledge of construction, I guided students with their coursework and marked their drawings to comply with South African building regulations.
