I completed my internship at Mohra Interior Design Office, where I gained hands-on experience in various aspects of interior design. I worked on developing both 2D and 3D drawings, as well as preparing electrical, lighting, flooring, and furniture layout plans.

Additionally, I contributed to creating furniture pricing schedules, which helped me understand the budgeting and cost estimation side of design projects. I was also involved in a complete café re-decoration project, where I conducted a site visit, analyzed the space, and developed a new design concept, presenting it through a professional presentation.

This experience enhanced my technical and creative skills and provided me with a solid understanding of the workflow within an interior design office, from concept development to final presentation.
