I am writing to express my strong interest in the Visioning & Planning Intern position in Winter Park, Florida. As a recent architecture graduate with a deep interest in sustainability, experiential design, and purpose-driven environments, I am excited by AOA’s mission to dream, create, and build transformative experiences that resonate across cultures and communities. My academic training in architecture has equipped me with a strong foundation in conceptual thinking, spatial planning, and visual communication. I am particularly drawn to the early stages of the design process—where big ideas, narratives, and visioning evolve into meaningful journey maps and master plans. Through studio projects and internships, I have developed professional-level design and graphic work, including concept diagrams, layouts, research narratives, and presentation materials that translate complex ideas into clear and compelling stories.
I am especially motivated by AOA’s focus on sustainability, cultural impact, and social responsibility. My work consistently explores how design can support wellness, community engagement, and long-term environmental stewardship, whether through mixed-use developments, public-realm interventions, or experience-driven spaces. I value collaboration and thrive in team-based environments, where feedback is an essential part of growth and refinement. I approach each project with curiosity, adaptability, and a strong desire to contribute meaningfully to live work.
I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign), Microsoft Office, and Revit, with experience in 3D modeling and visual storytelling. I enjoy bridging analytical research with creative exploration, and I am eager to support AOA’s multidisciplinary teams across the full project life cycle—from early visioning to execution. AOA’s commitment to quality, integrity, teamwork, and balance strongly resonates with my own values. I would be honored to contribute my skills, passion, and perspective to your team while learning from industry leaders working at the forefront of immersive and purpose-driven design. Thank you for your time and consideration. I have included my resume and portfolio for your review and would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my interests and experience align with AOA’s vision.
Sincerely,
Michaela Habte
