works of the new bar and grill restraunt in Gladesville. This

This organisation is a volunteer lead initiative to develop a
sustainable materials library which follows an open source
system. My role here was as the director of materials

materials sourcing involved communicating with sustainable
makers or designers and providing them the opportunity to
display their products within our physical and online library.
My design and build role involved identifying the most
effective method for display of products and then directing
its manufactor. This experience was valuable in providing me
the opportunity to learn the process of a start up business.

Though not directly related to the built environment industry,
this experience has proven invaluable in learning how to

experience in following up with inquiries.

This experience was a week long placement under the
supervision of their architect Matthew Bourke. This was my
first expeirence in an architectural office and of the design
process. I was given a small scale residential project to

as the client. My main method of presentation included a
Google Sketchup walk through of the design and a materials
samples board which were accompanied by my verbal pitch
to the design directors.
