draftswoman
She draws blueprints
A draftswoman is a woman who creates technical drawings—architectural plans, engineering schematics, or mechanical designs.
The term parallels draftsman but specifies female gender.
Some prefer the gender-neutral drafter or draftsperson: She worked as a draftswoman for an engineering firm before becoming an architect.
