Moseley Architects
https://www.linkedin.com/company/moseley-architects
Specializing in higher education design, I have the opportunity to work on an array of project types including but not limited to: student life spaces, classroom and administrative buildings, dining facilities, stadiums, and fine & performing arts centers. I most enjoy opportunities to collaborate with project team members on all sides of the table, working to develop successful projects that fall within parameters while exceeding expectations. 

I find that my strengths are realized through my innate drive to understand “why” and make connections. I am energized by teamwork and seek to learn as much as possible through every step of project. Drawing from my earlier sales and marketing career, I understand that developing strong relationships with consultants, clients, and industry professionals enables me to become uniquely resourceful. Being detail oriented, I also enjoy applying and honing my technical abilities to put together construction documents and problem solve (or prevent) in the field. Design thinking is my passion and I am honored to be a part of design something so precious as the student experience. 

Responsibilities and Duties:

• Programming and Space Planning
• Construction Documents (finish schedules and plans/elevations/sections, casework details, toilet room plans, door schedules, reflected ceiling plans and lighting design, life safety, etc.) 
• Interior material specifications 
• Furniture design and documentation
• Architectural and Engineering Collaboration
• Code analysis
• Preparation of graphic presentations (project studies, client/user presentations, etc.)
• Client presentations and design workshops
• Student workshops and information gathering
