About Michela Bettin

As a known hard-worker, I strive to take on new challenges and additional responsibilities, while following multiple projects simultaneously and in deadline driven environments. My work ethic, meticulousness, and passion I bring to projects is greatly valued by the teams I work with, as well as my diligence and follow-through. I am able to bring to each project my strong competency in modeling and detailing, my solid understanding of construction documentation and administration, and my international perspective. I take pride and I am very passionate about both the design process and the finished product. The Clients I work with view me as someone they can trust, as I always work to meet their goals and exceed their expectations. I constantly seek out opportunities to improve and broaden my knowledge, increase my design and technical skills, and grow professionally. I enjoy all the aspects of the design, from the large scale analysis to the small scale of the building details and technologies, paying particular attention to the integration of the principles of sustainable architecture and green building practice.
