Sketches & Illustrations

Sketching has been an indispensable part of my design process during my professional practice. From the conceptual stage, throughout the development of design, I have been communicating to draughtsmen, technical team, visualizers, carpenters, and artisans using sketches. When presenting sketches to the clients, they get a personal touch from the designer. During discussions at the site for some unforeseen challenges or finalizing on detail changes, sketching has been a reliable tool to help the client and contractors visualize.

Public participation

Since 2020, I have hosted Architectural sketching workshops in India and UAE for architecture and interior graduates. Starting from the basics of isometric projection, the course covers oblique projection, and twopoint and three-point perspective drawing. A thorough understanding of the basics leads to exercises on developing a view from the plan. Along with the workshops, I have also taught the ‘perspective drawing for the interior design course at TDS, an interior design institute based in Dubai.
