Clive Wilkinson Architects
My first design job ever was at Clive Wilkinson Architects, where I met some really talented architects and designers. Our clients were typically of the creative sort: from creative schools, to forward-thinking companies, advertising agencies, and restaurants.
I collaborated with the project architect in coming up with appropriate color and material palettes for the intended look and feel. I was completely responsible for carrying out this general direction with the research, coordination and specification of every piece of furniture, fabric, and finish, making sure they met code and operational requirements. Researching appropriateness for non-standard use was quite common as well: Are we allowed to use this shag carpet on the wall? I was also responsible for planning and creating material boards for client presentations.
