Objective
My name is Brian Grafton and I have recently graduated from Kent State University with my Bachelors degree in architecture and environmental design. I am actively seeking a summer internship to further my education as well as earn professional experience and develop valuable connections with talented individuals and firms. I am the most passionate about commercial architecture, especially on higher education facilities, and would enjoy working in an environment focusing on these areas of design.
