About your tutor
I am an interior design professional with 1.5 years of industry experience and 1 year of teaching, specializing in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Enscape rendering. I hold a Master’s in Interior Design from the UK and a Bachelor’s from India. I’ve worked on residential and commercial projects, creating detailed drawings and 3D models, and now teach students to do the same. My teaching focuses on real-world application, project-based learning, and software proficiency, helping learners build strong portfolios and practical skills for the interior design industry. I design lessons that blend creativity with precision and encourage students to visualize spaces with clarity, purpose, and technical accuracy.

90% of students feel confident using AutoCAD, Rhino, and Revit.
Collaborative design learning
85% of students benefit from group design exercises.
Clear step-by-step instructions
Students appreciate simple explanations of complex software.
Class overview
My teaching methodology combines hands-on learning with real-world project scenarios. I focus on step-by-step guidance in AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Enscape, helping students understand both the tools and their design applications. Lessons emphasize clean modeling, accurate drafting, and effective visual presentation. I encourage project-based learning, creativity, and problem-solving, while providing regular feedback and support. By integrating professional standards and practical tasks, I help students develop confidence, technical skills, and portfolio-ready work aligned with industry expectations. I also incorporate design logic and spatial thinking to prepare students for real design challenges.

Architecture concept taught by Vinkal
The Student reviewed and refined their AutoCAD drawings, focusing on elevations, lighting fixtures, and reflected ceiling plans. They learned to import PDFs, trace images for detailed elements, and represent architectural details in the RCP. The student has a project submission due tonight and scheduled another session for later today.

Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCP) and Crown Molding
The session focused on AutoCAD commands including units setup, basic drawing tools (line, rectangle, circle), trim, mirror, move, group, block, explode, and scaling. The student learned to import, edit, and rescale PDFs and convert images to DWG files. The tutor provided a video to help the student share their screen in future sessions.

The session covered AutoCAD techniques for architectural design, including crown molding creation, window treatment detailing, and furniture elevation. The Student practiced drafting and placing crown molding and discussed representing curtains and pelmets in plans and elevations. The next session is scheduled for Tuesday to continue refining drawings, with the Student planning to work on furniture elevations.

Vinkal guided Elizabeth through drafting furniture in AutoCAD, concentrating on designing a side table and a chair for her floor plan. Their work together involved mastering the arc command, mirroring, and fillet to ensure accurate furniture plans. Vinkal also provided Elizabeth with a CAD library for future use. Elizabeth is tasked with finalizing the furniture floor plan for their upcoming review, after which their next lesson will shift focus to elevations.

Vinkal Joshi assisted Jakob Hendriks with his AutoCAD assignment, addressing issues related to scale bars, image scaling, and PDF plotting. Vinkal provided a CAD block for a scale bar and demonstrated the 'scale' command for accurate drawing scaling. Jakob will focus on tracing and layering his site plan, and Vinkal offered to review the file before submission.
