About me

Dear Sir/Madame,

My name is Andrei, 24. I graduated Interior Architecture and Design at UCA.

From my previous experience in working in retail and marketing, as you can see in the enclosed CV, I can demonstrate good communication skills, ability to work unsupervised when required and I work well in a team. I have been working solely in graphic and web design since 2007. I have built modular structures prior to my Interior Architecture course.

I have also worked in construction industry as design assistant, on Nicolas Grimshaw's design for the new LSE academic building. This has helped me to understand how important are the drawings for the fixers to efficiently deliver the design wanted.

I have undertook as freelancer projects in radio, nightclubs and residential design.

I worked close to Allan Atlee and Ephraim Joris from Architecture Project office in London. *

The research in which I am interested includes 'web' like connection, cyber and hyper surfaces , disjunctions in philosophy and sociology, dynamics in economics and politics, law and computer science. I am negotiating the boundary between physics, chemistry, genetics and artificial intelligence. This is helping me to deliver cutting-edge designs.

I would be very pleased to come and show you my folio, or you can see the selected works of my latest projects which I have attached in PDF with this email.
