Felder & Associates hires two recent SCAD grads Sophia Rodriguez, Architectural Intern, Felder & Associates SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN (SCAD) aims to cultivate talented individuals, preparing them to be leaders in their chosen endeavors, and two recent graduates just joined Felder & Associates. Brian Felder said Elisa Dogor and Sophia Rodriguez are now part of the local architecture company’s team. Rodriguez, from St. Johns, Fla., currently serves as an architectural intern at Felder & Associates. “I’m lucky I found this job,” Rodriguez said. “I love it so much, but it was tough for a couple of months getting there.” Rodriguez said that landing the position was not easy. With COVID-19 hitting hard in March, right after she finished wrapping up an exhausting school quarter at SCAD, she had to rearrange some plans, she said. A job that she had lined-up for the summer fell through, and Rodriguez said she did not know what she would do to compensate for it. Eventually, she hit the ground running, searching for alternative opportunities, until she came across Felder & Associates, and she said she is glad she did.
