I worked at Earl Swensson Associates in Nashville, TN over the summer and just returned for the winter quarter. I have had the opportunity to work on some ridiculously sweet projects around the world from conceptual designs of Gaylord Opryland, a Conservatory in British Columbia, new condominiums on the coast of Nicaragua as well as preliminary designs for a hotel and spa in Dubai. ESa allows me to take an active role in all these projects and not only allow me to participate in the documentation, but also in designing key elements, client meetings and working alongside major principals and project managers. I am able to use and perfect my skills in Revit, Microstation, Sketchup and Photoshop with each and every one of these project. I love the fact that ESa allows me to join so many different kinds of projects and trusts that I can meet their standards and expectations on each of these unique projects. The variety of projects that they are able to bring into this office in Tennessee is simply amazing to me and made this first co-op for me a lasting and COOL Co-Op!
