My name is Eric Reid. I am an Architectural Designer and Visual Artist from Canada, now based in Australia, with over 16 years of experience across architecture and visualisation. I specialise in developing detailed 3D models that are used to test, refine, and communicate design through visual narratives. My background in Architecture and Psychology informs how I approach space — focusing on perception, experience, and how people connect to space. Shaped by working across different cultures, this perspective informs how I translate design into clear, meaningful visual outcomes.
