KS Q&A: Danielle Snyder: A Unique Perspective from Both Sides of Building & Design

To kick off our first installment of KS Q&A, we spoke with Danielle Snyder, a former drafter at a successful architectural firm and current estimator with KaneSterling Architectural Products.

Danielle provided some great feedback and observations regarding her experiences thus far within the AEC industry, including the parallels and differences between architectural firms and building product manufacturers/suppliers.

What was your job title/function at the architectural firm?  What is your job title/function now?

At the architectural firm, I was a CAD/BIM drafter.  At KaneSterling, I work in Sales/Estimating.

How did your position in the architectural world prepare you for a sales position with an architectural metal product fabricator?

Due to my architectural background, it's very easy for me to understand ideas that the designers or architects are trying to convey in their building design(s). I'm able to see from both sides why something was drawn in a certain way and how they conceptualized it.
