My name is Rosalie Ward. I have a bachelors degree in the Built Environment (Architecture) from the University of Canberra. Since completing my studies, I have worked with a Landscape Design firm, Place Logic, and a multi-disciplined Architecture firm, DNA Architects. As well as this, I have sought out many different working experiences, both during high school and my university studies; including Ashford Architects in Darwin, 2021; Designer Eco Tiny Homes in Ulladulla, 2019; and Laura Miller Building Design in Parkes, 2018. These mentioned businesses use the computer software programs of ArchiCAD Graphisoft, Revit, and AutoCAD, and SketchUp, just to name a few. I have, therefore, developed skills using these softwares, as well as the Adobe and Microsoft suites. I am also competent at the design software, Rhino, as I used this for my main university studies. I believe that my past experience in these different office types has prepared me well to take on any roles and/or tasks required of me.
My goal as a professional in this industry is to have the ability to promote sustainability through eco-considerate and sustainable design, engage community interaction and advocate well-being and cultural diversity within a team who constantly test the boundaries of design. A portfolio of relevant university assignments and personal projects have emerged out of these passions. These projects highlight a technical development through different stages of my learning. It is observable, in many of my individual and group projects, a large focus has been placed on the way a form may utilize the natural environment to enhance its performance and engagement. 
During my final year of study with UC, I had the opportunity to be the third year representative for the UC Architecture Society (UCAS). I also had the chance, through my studies, to participate in volunteer programs like Children's school holiday architecture workshops at UC and the 2021 SONA UpScale event, in which I was a finalist winner. Outside of design, I am very passionate about my family and friend relationships, as well as involving myself in outreach and community engagement. Issues of climate change, homelessness and women's rights are of large interest to me, and areas in which I hope to help drive change for in the future. I have had a casual job at Bunnings warehouse since I was 17, and I have loved every part of the customer and team member interactions.
