Work accurately with venue layouts, measurements and floor plans.

Develop multiple design options quickly based on internal and client feedback.

Create detailed views of important elements to help production teams understand the design.

Select and visualize appropriate materials, textures, finishes, lighting and branding applications.

Ensure designs are not only visually impressive but also practical, executable and budget-conscious.

Understand fabrication methods and design keeping actual production possibilities in mind.

Work closely with the Creative, Client Servicing and Operations/Production teams from concept to execution.

Coordinate with fabricators and production vendors to explain design intent and resolve execution challenges.
