V-Create Architects, Surat, IN, Interior Designer

Being a part of the design team, I was involved in design discussions about the conceptual designs, schematic design reviews, developing working drawings, material selections, site visits, etc. Being expressive about ideas and opinions to my colleagues and getting productive feedback helped us initiate a dynamic design discussion enhancing my skills of being a good team player. Attending client meetings on a regular basis made me aware of the discussions and topics that are discussed during the early design development phase giving an insight into the client-architect/designer relation aspect of the profession.
