Abbie (Abdul) Rashed

Hi, I’m Abbie (he/him), an MA Architecture Student at the University of Edinburgh, applying for a role in the Design industry. Beyond architecture, I am deeply interested in design as a means of storytelling, with interests spanning from graphic design to furniture, and to photography. My work is grounded in both physical and digital mediums, paired with strong knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, and the new Affinity by Canva suite too. I also work with 3D design softwares such as Rhino, Blender, SketchUp, Inventor and Shapr3D, whilst also using rendering engines such as D5 Render, V-Ray, Lumion, & Enscape. I am especially motivated by community-oriented approaches to design, with sustainable-focused design. I believe that contextually responsive and environmentally conscious design is the future of our environment.
