c | 931.801.0308 e | eott@vols.utk.edu elizabeth.ott31@gmail.com 505 Idlewood Drive Clarksville, TN 37043 Through studio and service organizations, I have found passion in urban planning projects, client relationships, and public-interest design. In the future, I aspire to explore the field of preservation design and better understand the methods of active preservation and reuse of buildings. I hope to obtain licensure within the next few years and expand my horizons in architecture and design experiences.
