Summary

Motivated and detail-oriented draftsperson transitioning from 5 years of experience in interior design and architectural drafting into civil and structural drafting. I’m currently completing an Associate Degree at TAFE SA also gain hands-on experience detailing structures, using AutoCad and Revit, and applying Australian Standards. I aim to contribute my technical drawing skills to a design team at work. For engineering, spatial understanding will also be of strong asset.
