Clear, buildable drawings, from first sketch to permit set.
I'm Eden Tilahun, an architectural and civil CAD drafter and architectural designer based in Silver Spring, MD. I turn design intent into coordinated drawing sets in AutoCAD, Revit, and MicroStation, and because I've supervised construction on site, I draw with the builder in mind.
Drafting grounded in architecture and construction.
I bring a B.S. in Architecture and 5+ years at a general contractor and an engineering firm to every drawing set, from a five-bedroom house and an 80-seat cafe to a 15-story mixed-use tower.
Today I draft traffic control plans and prepare permit submittals for DC agencies at a DC-area engineering firm.
About meDrafting first, backed by design.
Clear, coordinated drawings in AutoCAD, Revit, and MicroStation, supported by a degree and hands-on experience in architectural design.
Drafting and construction documents
Coordinated drawing sets in AutoCAD and Revit: floor plans, elevations, sections, and site plans that reviewers can approve and contractors can build from.
Permit and civil drafting
Traffic control plans in AutoCAD and MicroStation, plus permit packages for DC agencies including DDOT, DOB, and DOEE, assembled, submitted, and tracked through review.
Revit modeling and visualization
Revit models that keep plans, sections, and elevations in sync, with 3D views and renderings that help teams and clients see the design before it is built.
Architectural and interior design
Concept through design development for residential, hospitality, and mixed-use projects, including space planning and interior layouts.
Drawings and design built on precision.
Three drawing sets: a 15-story mixed-use tower at 1:100, a three-story house, and a two-level cafe.
