Hi, I'm Nigel dos Santos, a graduate architect with a Bachelor of Architecture from Manipal University and a Master of Architecture from the University of Newcastle, Australia. I have hands-on experience in presentation drawings, construction drawings, interior detailing, 3D modeling, and client coordination across India and Australia. I take a particular interest in providing quality design solutions and documentation. I have become very skilled with drafting and producing 3D models and renders and am proficient in Archicad, Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD and Lumion, though I also have experience in other modelling / rendering software such as Twinmotion. Besides these I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Indesign and MS Office Suite. My proficiency in CAD software and 3D modeling, coupled with a keen eye for detail, allows me to develop innovative design solutions that meet client needs and project parameters. My work ranges from small and large scale residential projects to education and government projects. I value sustainable design, practical problem-solving, and clear communication with stakeholders. I enjoy exploring new tools and technologies to improve efficiency and reduce waste in construction.
