About 

I am currently pursuing my master's in Interior Design. I have a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from the International Institute of Fashion Design (INIFD) in Hyderabad. I have a strong foundation in interior design principles and specialize in both residential and commercial projects. I have five years of experience in the field. My passion is optimizing spaces, and I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of global design trends.

I have a versatile skill set and am proficient in industry-standard software such as Autodesk AutoCAD, Google SketchUp, V-Ray, Enscape, CorelDraw, and Adobe Photoshop. This expertise enables me to create efficient modular designs and produce detailed client-specific multimodal renders.

My goal is to continually expand my knowledge, take on more complex projects, and transform spaces with innovative and functional designs.

Employment 

Interwood India, Hyderabad, IN, SR Interior Designer

I actively participated in client meetings to discuss design plans and gather feedback regarding preliminary designs, ensuring that their vision was in line with the end product. I worked with architects and contractors to ensure building construction was done to specification. I also compiled comprehensive data about client preferences, lifestyle habits, and architectural styles, while making design concepts both stylish and ergonomic. These responsibilities required me to conceptualize the designs, reference designs, and presentations, as well as create 3D models and renderings in support of 2D drawings. I also handled detailed technical drawings, specifications, and material samples for client approval. Additionally, I oversaw the design process, from managing contractors to scheduling meetings with clients and team members to ensure smooth communication and timely completion of projects. In this role, I was also in charge of the production drawings and had to maintain clear communication with the production line to meet deadlines.

I also created mood boards, floor plans, drawings, and elevations to effectively communicate design concepts to clients. Additionally, I researched new products and materials to stay current with industry trends and contributed to preparing working drawings to support project execution.
