| Contract • Lead the development of high-detail Revit BIM models (LOD 300–400) for residential and commercial projects, ensuring alignment with construction standards and client requirements • Produce complete permit-ready drawing sets, including floor plans, elevations, sections, details, and schedules with strong attention to accuracy and code compliance • Coordinate closely with structural, MEP, and civil consultants to resolve clashes and ensure seamless integration across all disciplines • Interpret sketches, PDFs, and markups to generate fully constructible CAD and BIM documentation • Develop and manage custom Revit families and parametric components to improve modeling efficiency and consistency across projects • Perform clash detection and model validation, reducing design conflicts before construction and minimizing RFIs • Handle redline revisions and iterative updates efficiently while maintaining strict deadlines in remote work environments • Support data-rich modeling, ensuring elements are properly categorized and scheduled for quantity takeoffs and documentation • Work on a wide range of project types, including single-family homes, ADUs, renovations, and small-tomid commercial developments • Maintain BIM standards, naming conventions, and file organization, ensuring smooth collaboration in team environments • Deliver high-quality outputs independently, demonstrating strong time management, communication, and accountability in remote workflows Architectural Drafter | Terraform architects, Portland, OR | Jan 2018 – Oct 2020 • Produced architectural drawings including plans, sections, elevations, and details using AutoCAD and Revit • Assisted in developing design concepts into construction-ready documentation • Worked on residential and small commercial projects with focus on accuracy and buildability • Coordinated with engineers and project stakeholders to refine design details • Developed design concepts into construction-ready documentation • Coordinated with engineers and stakeholders to ensure design accuracy and compliance Architectural Intern | CAD Drafter | Terraform architects, Portland, OR | Nov 2016 – Dec 2017 • Assisted in drafting plans, elevations, and sections for residential and small commercial projects • Supported 3D modeling and presentation development • Contributed to documentation and coordination tasks PROJECT EXPERIENCE Residential Projects (Single-Family Homes, ADUs, Renovations) • Developed complete permit-ready construction documents including site plans, floor plans, roof plans, elevations, building sections, wall sections, and construction details • Designed and documented crawlspace and slab-on-grade foundations, including framing layouts, floor systems, and structural coordination • Produced custom residential layouts optimized for space efficiency, circulation, and client lifestyle requirements • Prepared ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) designs, including independent utility layouts and zoningcompliant configurations • Coordinated with structural engineers for beam sizing, load paths, and foundation systems to ensure buildable solutions Commercial Projects (Retail & Food Industry) • Produced architectural construction drawings for retail stores, restaurants, and food service spaces, including layout, equipment plans, and interior elevations • Developed tenant improvement (TI) drawing sets, ensuring compliance with landlord requirements and local codes • Coordinated commercial kitchen layouts including equipment placement, workflow efficiency, and clearance requirements • Integrated MEP systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) into BIM models to support equipment-heavy environments such as restaurants • Prepared reflected ceiling plans (RCPs) including lighting, diffusers, and ceiling systems coordination • Worked closely with consultants to align fire safety, ventilation, grease duct routing, and health code compliance BIM & Coordination Highlights • Performed clash detection and coordination between architectural, structural, and MEP systems • Maintained LOD 300–400 BIM models with accurate geometry and embedded data for schedules and documentation • Developed standardized Revit templates, families, and workflows to improve production efficiency • Ensured clean file management, naming conventions, and sheet organization for remote collaboration • Delivered projects in fully remote environments while maintaining high-quality communication and deadlines
