To whom this may concern:
Meaghan McKinley was employed at my studio as an
architectural intern between January and April 2016 wherein
she participated in the conception and execution of a number
of diverse projects during her internship.
The projects in our office tend to have aggressive deadlines
whilst our designs exhibit a high level of complexity and
detail. In this context Meaghan revealed an impressive work
ethic of dedication and diligence to our studio. Her practical
experience is comprised of pre-design, conceptual design,
design development and working drawings phases, including
site reviews and documentation, formulating functional
diagrams, computer visualizations and preparation of
presentation drawings.
Meaghan participated in numerous residential, condominium
and office projects. She exhibited a high level of enthusiasm
for the craft and theory of architecture and in a team context
she was a distinct pleasure to work with. Delightful and
always dependable, Meaghan is an excellent intern and I
highly recommend her to any design firm.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
