Carrie joined our team after 15 years of experience as a lead drafter for an architectural restoration manufacturer. She has degrees in Architectural Engineering Technology and Horticulture/Landscape Development.
Carrie acts as a quality-control gatekeeper of sorts, bridging the waters between the creatives inside our architectural design team and the structural realities that each project requires. She shares office space with Andy and Mike but she’s equally suited for a spot in the west wing with our operations manager, Adam.
Working from a floor plan and a base design, Carrie produces structural models as part of our budget set production process. Her work helps clarify square footages, pitches of the roof system, and window and door placements.
She’s also contributed to our shop drawings which detail the nuts and bolts of our assembly plans and our joinery. This immersion in both the architectural and structural plans lets Carrie identify any structural-side issues early in our design process. Clients don’t like surprises and Carrie helps keep everyone on the same page.
Detailed oriented is a term that gets thrown around but it’s impossible to describe Carrie’s work without it. She lives in the details, checking every measurement with a laser focus and assuring that any adjustments are documented, uploaded into our process, and refined to make future passes more efficient.
