"As an architectural drafter for a large design firm, I have been responsible for drawing structural features and details for commercial buildings and other large construction projects. I frequently worked simultaneously on multiple, long-term design projects for commercial buildings with seven- and eight-figure budgets. I was in constant contact with the internal team of architects and coordinated ongoing communication with clients to ensure that everyone was on the same page in terms of timeline and expectations. In my previous role for a small design firm, I worked very closely with the creative team. I'm very familiar with the pressures that come with big-budget projects and the nuances of interacting with both clients and designers. I'd be excited to put that experience to good use working with your clients."
