• Create compelling graphics and renderings that effectively communicate design intent, leveraging AI-assisted rendering tools (including FLUX-based and diffusion model workflows via RunDiffusion) to accelerate iteration speed and expand the range of options presented to clients.
• Analyze and refine design ideas through sketches, 3D models, and iterations based on initial concepts; use AI-assisted workflows to generate, evaluate, and compress iteration cycles without sacrificing design judgment.
• Collaborate with a Project Architect (PA) to develop detailed drawing sets and technical documents.
• Direct preparation of conceptual designs, space plans, presentations, and design development.
