Katie Phillips - Part II Student

For me, architecture is the perfect blend of science and creativity. I find beauty in minimal design - clean lines and geometry. I am drawn to an architecture that is sensitive to its surroundings and has a strong relationship between building and environment. The projects I have performed my best in and have enjoyed the most are ones based in a sensitive and challenging context. Materiality, light and journey are what I strive to express in my work. I have a meticulous attention to detail and every drawing, model and render is done to the best of my ability. 

 

I am passionate about making physical models, and like to experiment using different mediums. I am skilled in Adobe Photoshop Indesign, AutoCad and Sketchup. Due to making physical models I have learnt good photography skills and usually edit using Adobe Lightroom. I am a fast learner and I'm currently focusing on how to use 3D Studio Max, which I hope I will be competent in soon.

​

I'm self-motivated, enthusiastic and due to my very active lifestyle during school while maintaining good grades; I trained 14-16 hours per week, was Captain of my swim team and competed consistently for  five years  at a national and international level, I had to cultivate good time management and organisational skills. 

Working effectively in a team is vital at my part time job as a lifeguard. I therefore have developed very good communication skills, confidence and a positive attitude. I work with a wide range of ages and abilities, and would consider myself friendly and approachable.
