Hi, I’m Avleen Kaur, a MFA-trained Interior Designer with 5+ years of experience shaping residential and commercial spaces. I love blending spatial planning, material storytelling, and technical execution to create concept-driven interiors. I’m proficient in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and the Adobe Creative Suite, and I enjoy building mood boards, 3D visualizations, and FF&E specifications to clearly communicate design intent. I’m excited by hospitality and experiential design and am pursuing NCIDQ certification (plans to begin in 2026). I thrive working with cross-disciplinary teams to deliver immersive spaces that balance aesthetics, function, and client goals.
