Certifications, 1 through a Competition & 3 through Courses
As a Wedding and Event Designer specializing in large-scale weddings across various venues, I am responsible for transforming conceptual event plans into fully immersive, high-fidelity 3D visualizations. Working remotely on a full-time basis, I provide clients with a detailed and realistic preview of their special day, ensuring that every angle and element of the design is captured with precision and beauty.
Key Responsibilities:
3D Modeling & Rendering: I translate the finalized design PDFs—including color palettes, agreed-upon items, and layout guidelines—into comprehensive 3D models of the entire event space, accurately reflecting venue architecture, décor placement, lighting, and spatial flow.
Client Visualization Experience: I produce photorealistic renders from all relevant angles to give clients a complete virtual walk-through of their wedding, enhancing their confidence in the design and helping them visualize the full atmosphere ahead of time.
Technical Drawings for Custom Fabrication: I create precise technical documentation and CAD files for custom-built event pieces, such as bridal entrances, chandelier stands, staging elements, and other fabricated décor. These drawings are production-ready and tailored to the specifications of the fabrication team.
Remote Collaboration & Workflow: Operating fully remotely, I maintain close communication with event planners to ensure alignment across all visual and technical aspects of the design process.
Creative Input in Event Design: While I primarily work from pre-approved concepts, I often collaborate with the creative team to select specific design elements, such as centerpieces, floral arrangements, furniture pieces, and focal installations, ensuring visual harmony and originality.
Venue Adaptation: Each wedding is uniquely adapted to the specific venue requiring careful modeling of the architecture and surroundings to ensure all design elements integrate seamlessly within the environment.
In this role, I worked as both an Architect and 3D Designer, contributing to a variety of professional interior design projects while developing and refining key technical and visual skills. This experience was pivotal in shaping my expertise in architectural visualization and technical documentation.
Experience:
3D Design & Visualization: Produced high-quality, photorealistic renders for diverse interior spaces, ranging from residential to commercial environments. This position marked the phase where I developed and mastered my rendering skills, using tools such as Corona & 3ds Max.
Architectural Design Support: Participated in the design process across multiple phases—from concept development to final presentations—ensuring a balance of function, aesthetics, and spatial efficiency.
Technical Drawing & Documentation: Received hands-on training and practice in producing detailed technical drawings, including plans, sections, elevations, and joinery details. I worked on documentation that aligned with professional standards and real-world execution requirements.
Interior Design Projects: Contributed to the development of varied interior spaces, helping to shape layouts, select materials and finishes, and coordinate between design elements to create cohesive environments.
Team Collaboration: Had the opportunity to work alongside highly skilled teammates, learning from their expertise while contributing to a collaborative and fast-paced studio environment.
As a Junior Designer, I began my role focusing on exterior design, contributing to the development of outdoor architectural spaces, facades, and landscape integration. Over time, my responsibilities evolved to include interior design work, allowing me to broaden my design perspective and contribute to projects with a more holistic approach.
Experience:
Exterior Design Development: Assisted in conceptualizing and detailing exterior elements such as façades, entryways, outdoor spaces, and landscaping components. This included preparing mood boards, architectural studies, and visual presentations.
3D Modeling & Rendering: Created digital models and visualizations of exterior spaces, helping to communicate design concepts through realistic imagery using software such as 3dsMax & Corona Renderer.
Interior Design Integration: Progressed into working on interior projects, contributing to space planning, furniture layouts, material and color selection, and coordination of design elements to reflect client needs and project themes.
Collaboration & Presentation: Worked closely with senior designers and project managers, participating in design reviews, client meetings, and coordination with vendors and consultants.
Experience Level: Entry-Level / Fresh Graduate
As a Junior Architect, I bring foundational architectural knowledge combined with early hands-on experience in both exterior and interior design projects. My academic background, supported by practical exposure, has equipped me with a strong understanding of architectural principles, technical drafting, and visualization techniques.
Experience:
Exterior Design Support: Contributed to the design development of small- to medium-scale exterior architectural projects, including conceptual massing, façade detailing, and landscape integration under the guidance of senior architects.
Technical Interior Drawings: Assisted in producing detailed technical drawings for interior spaces, including floor plans, sections, elevations, and joinery details, ensuring alignment with design intent and client requirements.
