As a branch head interior designer, I'm responsible for the branch's interior design projects and walk-in clients, providing fast and convenient interior design service (manual drawing, planning and 3D drawing presentation) for their homes. I am also responsible for presenting the Novel Home furniture and fixtures e.g kitchen setup and cabinetry to use in all our projects and presentations.
I do graphics, illustrations and 3D presentations for the companies presentation to their client. I also provide aerial views of their venue to show the clients the planning on how the flow of their event will go from every angle of the space.
I handle projects manually, starting from client meeting, to doing 3D perspective of initial presentation. Once the client is satisfied, with all design problems of his/her space solved, i will start working with the construction drawings e.g. elevations, floor plan, reflected ceiling plan, detailing, scheduling and more. All revisions, once discussed, would be brought up the table for approval. On the presentation method, I make mood boards and material boards, conduct site inspection and coordinate with partner architects/engineers. I also coordinate with suppliers regarding orders of materials used in the project and communicate with contractors to guide them with the installations, providing them construction drawings to follow. I use AutoCAD for the contruction drawings, make 3D presentation using Sketchup rendered in Vray for realistic feel and Photoshop for finalizing of the presentation and post production.
