ANT
STUDIO
My name is Alyssa Tharrett and I am a licensed architect located in Denver, Colorado. My skills & passion revolve around the integration of architecture, sustainability, inclusivity, equality,graphic design, & technology. I gain energy from the rush of a deadline, satisfaction from the complexities in problem solving, joy from learning new things, and gratification from sharing what I know.
I have a strong work ethic, collaboration skills, and spacial abilities, which is why I work well with design teams. My key strength is versatility. I have the technical knowledge required to produce well coordinated construction drawing sets along with the aesthetic design skills to produce stunning graphic presentations. Leadership and Project Management comes naturally to me with the skills of presentation, communication, organization, thoughtful decision making, and all the logistics of architecture from project beginning to end.
