Available to hire
I am Soha Osama Kassem, an Architect & Interior Designer with a Master of Science in Architectural Engineering, specializing in VR gamification and its architectural applications. I combine academic depth with hands-on 3D modeling (3ds Max, V-Ray) and Unreal Engine to deliver innovative design solutions for mega projects like NEOM City.
As a researcher and author, I explore how VR and gaming can enhance architectural learning, user experience, and professional practice. I teach as an Adjunct Assistant Lecturer at Alexandria University, work remotely with teams in the UK and KSA, run a design studio, and continuously develop my skills in photography, graphic design, and VR-driven design.
