• Proficiency in modeling, rendering, and illustration software. (We use AutoCAD, SketchUp, Lumion, and Adobe Creative Suite, but experience with Rhino, 3ds Max, Revit, Blender, etc. is also valuable.)
• Ability to read and interpret design drawings and transform them into clear, compelling visuals.
• Strong organizational, time-management, and communication skills.
• Proficiency with entire Microsoft Office Suite.

Preferred Skills

• Site and topography modeling
