• Led a design team of 4 architects, translating senior architect inputs into schematic design including initial layouts
and 3D block massing models using Rhino 3D and AutoCAD to develop block models for early design analysis,
accelerating decision-making.
• Conducted R&D on innovative design outcomes and material selection, enhancing project quality and client
satisfaction.
• Utilized Lumion to create high-quality renders and cinematic video walkthrough, enabling faster client approvals and
reducing design iteration cycles.
• Maintained strong client relationships from initial meetings, interpreting client psychology and project requirements
to align design intent with client expectations, minimizing rework.
• Collaborated closely with structural engineers to develop structural solutions that preserved design integrity,
conducting initial contractor meetings to address critical junctions for seamless construction.
• Managed RFIs by providing timely, effective solutions to ensure smooth and on-schedule project execution.
• Integrated Grasshopper into the workflow to enable dynamic updates to block models with plan changes, improving
design flexibility and team efficiency.
• Prioritized and delegated multiple projects based on submission deadlines and client discussions, ensuring
balanced workload and timely delivery.
• Mentored junior architects by overseeing design development and providing constructive feedback, fostering skill
growth and high-quality final outputs.
• Contributed to cost estimation and budgeting during design development, ensuring design decisions remain
feasible within defined cost targets. Reviewed shop drawings, responded to RFIs, generated BOQ, schedules, and
material specifications

• Prepared and developed drawings, models, images and design related documents using software like Rhino3d,
Sketchup, Photoshop.
• Aided in budget management through cost-effective material selection and vendor negotiation skills.
• Developed innovative design concepts, contributing to successful architectural projects. Developed detailed plans,
drawings and specifications for residential & commercial projects.
• Attended and led discussions with vendors to come up with innovative solutions.
• Utilized rendering software such as Lumion/D5 render and incorporated AI tools like Finch 3d along with video
editing software to create 3D visualisations that communicated design concepts with stakeholders.
• Coordinated with contractors, consultants, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to ensure smooth and timely
execution, actively managing stakeholder expectations and communication throughout project delivery.
• Presented as effective and efficient team member, someone that the team can rely on.
• Possessed a flexible working attitude (co-operative and open to guidance) and worked well within the team
environment.
• Worked on projects involving sustainable materials such as rammed earth walls, demonstrating practical
experience in sustainable construction techniques.

• Understood concept development and communicated the same with client.
• Created reports and documents as requested by the project manager and worked with managers to develop
technical and MEP drawings.
• Attended discussions with vendors for market analysis of different products available.
• Coordinated with site engineers, contractors, vendors, and clients to ensure project success.
