Chukwudumebi Nwakonobi

A 21 year old in my last year in university, studying architecture. I have always been interested in design since I was younger and growing up, I was drawn to how buildings were designed. This led me to my field of study. Over the last few years of studying architecture, I have explored its different forms and branches and I am most drawn to interior design and sustainable design. I have been blessed with the opportunity to intern at one of the biggest interior design firms in my city (twice). It amazes me that little changes could change the vibe of a building or a space. It could be the choice of material or color selection. These little things bring buildings and/or spaces to life and give them character and I have always loved bringing my ideas and imaginations to life. For this reason, I took courses in 3D Design and Visualization/Rendering. My softwares of choice are Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Autocad, 3dsmax Corona Render, Sketchup, Vray. Interning at an interior design firm has been a strong foundation for me in the field. I have assisted with curating moodboards and floor plan layout (space planning) design for successful projects. I was given the opportunity to use my ideas and I have seen them brought to life and it has been veru fulfilling to say the least. I have learned to keep an open mind as it is an ever evolving field and learning is always going to be a part of the job. Being so young and doing all this also gave me a level of confidence in myself and my work. I hope to be able to travel and explore the world in the nearest future. There is so much architecture and design I would like to experience in person. This is my passion anf I can't wait to reach my full potential.
