Software Transition
During my internship, I led the transition of project standards from SketchUp to Revit to align with the office's software transition. Using FormIt, I converted most SketchUp models into Revit families, while others were built directly in Revit, building upon existing models by a colleague. The objective was to create an efficient, user-friendly project template with a swift turnaround. This initiative has been largely successful and continuously refined based on feedback from colleagues using the Revit template.

Following discussions with the franchisee, I usually conduct a space planning exercise to optimize the layout while integrating the franchisee's vision and adhering to brand standards.
