About

I’m Obimbo Abel Obiero, an architectural designer and visualiser based in Nairobi, Kenya, with nine years of experience spanning heritage documentation, developer housing, and private residential commissions. I work end-to-end—from shaping a client’s brief into concept design, producing full construction documentation, and then creating the 3D model, lighting, and photoreal renders in-house—so the drawing set and the client image come from one continuous process.
