About 

I am proficient with using a variety of different 3D designing and modeling tools, which I have utilized throughout my academic and professional projects. The primary softwares I have used includes AutoCAD, Revit, and Rhino, along with rendering tools like V-Ray, Lumion and Enscape.

To begin all my projects, I typically start with a massing study developed in Rhino to understand how the building will fit within its context of the site. Once I establish a viable mass, I create preliminary floor plans in AutoCAD to determine the layout of the program within the design. Final 3D models are then produced using the floor plans created in AutoCAD which are then either imported into Rhino or Revit, depending upon the complexity of the facade, Rhino is preferred for more unorthodox designs. The final renderings are then created using Lumion or Enscape. Renders are typically brought into Photoshop or Illustrator for additional detailing as well.
