Translate architectural concepts, layouts, materials, and brand requirements into compelling visual presentations.
Incorporate feedback and revisions quickly while maintaining design quality and consistency.
Manage assigned design and visualization deliverables independently.
Coordinate multiple brand concepts and ensure each design is accurately represented.
Work efficiently under tight timelines and prioritize deliverables based on project requirements.
Required Qualifications
5+ years of relevant experience in restaurant architecture, hospitality architecture, architectural visualization, or a closely related field.
Strong experience creating photorealistic architectural renderings and 3D visualizations.
Experience with restaurant, food hall, food court, airport, hospitality, or commercial projects is highly preferred.
Strong understanding of architectural layouts, elevations, interiors, materials, and spatial design.
Proficiency with relevant 3D modeling, rendering, and architectural visualization software.
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain high visual quality across multiple deliverables.
Ability to handle revisions and work effectively under pressure.
Availability to meet the October 7 project deadline.

A strong portfolio is mandatory and should demonstrate:
Photorealistic architectural renderings
Restaurant or hospitality projects
Food hall / food court / airport projects, where available
Interior perspectives and elevations
3D modeling and visualization capabilities
Quality of materials, lighting, finishes, and overall presentation
