I am a CAD designer and former architecture student based in Milton Keynes.
 

My journey started in 2011 when after drawing house designs in detail on grid paper I was encouraged to change my career path entirely and focus on studying architectural design. With that came the decision to enrol at Milton Keynes College onto a two year course in 3D Design. This is where I truly realised my own potential as a competent and creative designer for the built environment and end the course on a high with a triple distinction BTEC qualification and subsequently earning a scholarship at the University of Kent.
 

Technicalities with student funding meant that my enrolment at university was delayed for a year. So alongside regular employment, I found an opportunity for work experience over the summer in Milton Keynes which came from Avebury Projects Ltd. I gained here a good understanding of the workings of a small architectural practise. I was able to hit the ground running transferring hand drawings to AutoCAD leaving some free time to follow one of their courses in using Revit Architecture. For the first time, I was conversing with suppliers and invited to sit into consultation meetings. I've also adopted a filing system used with every project.
 

University got off to a great start with creativity increasing quickly with my knowledge in design generally becoming quite specialised and my approach becoming quite original. I understood that the fictitious nature of some academic projects allowed for experimentation of original ideas that could reoccur later if the ideas developed into convincing solutions. During hiatus from academic study, I have undertaken a couple of private projects using fresh knowledge from university. SketchUp & AutoCAD were key tools in these projects. The clients were pleased and have given permission for these projects to be shared.

​

I am currently seeking employment in this field so if you see qualities that match a requirement for a CAD technician to join your team, please see my qualifications and skills below.
