Hi, I’m Natalia Chmiel, a passionate interior architecture and design student with hands-on experience in hospitality and retail environments. I’ve balanced academic study with real-world projects, focusing on sustainable design principles, user experience, and practical execution using CAD tools like Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD, InDesign, and Photoshop. I’ve also contributed to design briefs for real-world spaces and collaborated with industry professionals to refine my craft. I’m eager to work in multidisciplinary teams, learn from industry mentors, and translate client needs into functional, aesthetically engaging interiors. My aim is to create energy-efficient, people-centered spaces while continuing to grow my skills in design concepts, presentation, and project delivery.
