Q

What are your strengths?

A

Id say my biggest strength is my ability to learn quickly***. I taught myself ***illustrator the summer before my graduate year, I learned a little bit of code and HTML 5 to create my website, I tought myself Rhino in two weeks to submit a proposal for a competition, and I am a self-taught musician mainly in guitar but I also taught myself a little bit of piano.

If there is a task I want to achieve, I have the utmost confidence that I can learn whatever it takes to complete that task. I love the challenge of learning new things and the thrill that comes with the accomplishment

My second biggest strength is my ability to work within a group setting***. Growing up an athlete I have spent the majority of my life working with a team, and that ***mentality has easily transfered over into my architectural works. I have a number of collaborative projects, all of which has their ups and downs, yet all came out successfull. I think where I work best in a collaborative environment is I know when and where to compromise, and I dont have a problem sacrificing ideas when they serve the greater good of the project, but I also know how to argue ideas that I feel will improve the project
