INTERNSHIP
DAVID COULSON DESIGN LTD.
Through my time at David Coulson Design Ltd. I had the opportunity to work on several projects from residential to commercial at varying stages of completion. This work term provided me with an understanding of the design and building process from start to finish of a project. Building relationships with clients, suppliers, and trades, on-site measuring for as-is drawings, developing feasible designs, working with budget and time restraints, and organizing accurate estimates and schedules were elements of my day-to-day.
HOUSE RENOVATION
This project was a full renovation of this 1300 sq. ft. rancher with focus placed on the kitchen and bathrooms. By maintaining appliance locations, we were able to keep costs at a minimum and worked with the original footprint to create a more interesting and aesthetic design. The kitchen and bathroom millwork was developed based on the individual needs of the client. The project's short time line meant we had to select materials that balanced availability, cost, and appropriateness.

COMMERCIAL RENOVATION
This project was a full renovation of a commercial building located in Duncan. I worked directly alongside the lead designer and my role included completing on-site measurements, verify the construction drawings, assisting in the development of a function floorplan, obtaining construction quotes and estimates, aiding in the creation of a project schedule, and proposing lighting and finishes to the clients.
This project solidified my interest in commercial design, and was a key component to developing my understanding of larger scale projects.

KITCHEN LAYOUT PROPSOAL
The client for this project was looking to renovate their kitchen to better suite their aesthetic and lifestyle. They had several key requirements that needed to be considered. A breakfast bar was requested to be integrated into the design, an 8' dining table that the couple already owned was to be included into the layout, and a small wine and coffee bar were added. When developing the layout of the kitchen these components were considered, alongside appropriate clearances and functional flow of the space.
