Interior Designer Design

I am an interior designer with strong expertise in CAD

drafting and technical documentation, developed through several years of hands-on experience in architectural and interior design. I specialize in creating accurate and detailed AutoCAD drawings for custom cabinetry, built-ins, and interior layouts, ensuring precision and clarity throughout the design and production process.

I am highly proficient in AutoCAD, Rhino, 3ds Max, V-Ray, and Micro-vellum, which I use to produce comprehensive drawing sets, cut lists, and photorealistic 3D visualizations. Over the past year, I have focused specifically on custom and semi-custom cabinetry design, preparing shop

drawings, technical layouts, and 3D models optimized for manufacturing and client presentations.

I enjoy working on technically demanding and design-driven projects, where I can combine my attention to detail with problem-solving skills. My goal is to deliver designs that are not only visually appealing but also buildable and production-ready.

As an interior architect with over nine years of experience, I am deeply passionate about creating environments that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also comfortable and nurturing. My approach to interior design is rooted in the belief that life begins with thoughtful architecture. The spaces we inhabit have a profound impact on our well- being, productivity, and overall happiness.

When individuals live in well-designed, comfortable environments, they are more fulfilled and capable of contributing positively to themselves and others . For me, the essence of great interior architecture lies in a deep love for both people and design. To truly excel in this field, one must first have a genuine concern for the well-being of others, understanding their needs, desires, and how they interact with the spaces around them. Secondly, a passion for architecture is crucial—a love for the craft, the creativity, and the endless possibilities that come with designing spaces that enhance life. My goal has always been to merge these two loves to create spaces that not only meet functional requirements but also inspire and uplift those who inhabit them.

Architectural &

Millwork Drawings –

Precision from Concept

to Construction

All architectural drawings were

developed in AutoCAD, ensuring

accuracy in space planning, wall

layouts, and detailed dimensions

aligned with construction standards.

The design process emphasized

functional zoning, circulation flow, and

coordination between architectural

and interior elements.

For the cabinetry and millwork,

Microvellum was used to generate

fully parametric, production-ready

shop drawings. These included:

• Custom cabinet layouts with cutlists

and part labeling

• Detailed section views, elevation

drawings, and hardware specifications

• Integration of inserts, appliance

dimensions, and clearances

This dual-platform workflow (AutoCAD

+ Microvellum) allowed for both

creative freedom and real-world

buildability, bridging the gap between

design intent and fabrication.

Luxury

Kitchen

Design –

Dual Finish

Concept

• This kitchen project showcases a high-end,

fully customized layout with a dual-tone cabinetry finish, blending classic elegance with modern

functionality. The concept was visualized in two

variations — one in soft white and the other in

charcoal gray — to demonstrate the flexibility of the design across different aesthetics.

All technical drawings were created in AutoCAD,

ensuring construction-ready accuracy and precision in millwork. The 3D modeling was completed in 3ds

Max, and photorealistic rendering was executed

using V-Ray, emphasizing material depth, lighting

balance, and overall spatial harmony.

Custom Bunk Room

Design

This project features a fully customized bunk bed

layout, designed for both functionality and visual charm. The technical drawings were drafted using

AutoCAD to ensure precise detailing and

construction accuracy.

All renderings were produced with 3ds Max and V-

Ray, showcasing realistic materials, lighting, and textures to present a clear visual concept of the

final built space.

Minimal Custom Bar

This custom shelving unit was fully modeled and rendered in 3ds Max with V-Ray, showcasing the warmth of natural wood textures and clean contemporary lines.

Designed to merge functionality with aesthetic purity — perfect for modern interiors.

Modern Kitchen Design – Custom Oak

This kitchen project features a seamless blend of modern design and natural materials. The entire layout and cabinetry details were drafted in AutoCAD, ensuring precision in spatial planning and millwork dimensions.

The 3D modeling was carried out in 3ds Max, focusing on realistic proportions, custom joinery, and appliance integration. Final renders were produced using V-Ray, capturing the warmth of white oak textures, the sleekness of stainless steel appliances, and the elegance of a monolithic concrete-look countertop.
