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.

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 concepts taught by Vinkal
The Student and Tutor practiced using Floorplanner software for interior design, focusing on precise object placement, room resizing, and aesthetic modifications. The Student worked on aligning windows, doors, and chandeliers using a line-drawing technique and applied different wall colors. The Tutor and Student also discussed troubleshooting common software challenges. For the next session, the Student plans to practice these skills, with a follow-up scheduled to cover placing objects on shelves.
Precise Object Alignment & Centering
Optimizing 3D Camera Perspective
Personalizing Wall Finishes
Managing Object Layers & Placement
Customizing Room Dimensions & Scaling Objects
The Student and Tutor practiced using Floorplanner software, focusing on accurately placing furniture, aligning objects with guiding lines, and adjusting elements in 3D. They also initiated the process of creating mood boards using Google Slides, including how to share documents and capture images from websites. The session concluded with plans for a detailed Google Slides tutorial and continued practice.

3D Object Placement & Height Adjustment
2D Object Alignment with Guiding Lines
Functional Furniture Layout Principles
Collaborative Mood Board Creation & Asset Gathering
Student and Tutor reviewed the Student's homework on interior design styles, identifying various characteristics and applications. The Tutor then introduced and extensively discussed numerous architectural styles, including Classic, Gothic, Renaissance, Modern, Brutalist, High-Tech, and Sustainable designs, explaining their historical context and defining elements. The session concluded with a homework assignment to research new architectural styles based on a shared link.

Measuring Interior Dimensions
Student and Tutor worked on familiarizing the Student with the Floorplanner architectural design software. They practiced drawing rooms and walls with precise dimensions, positioning furniture (chairs, sofas) and decorative elements (rugs, windows, fireplaces, TVs), and troubleshooting common software usage issues. The Student was assigned to practice these drawing and placement techniques, and a follow-up session was scheduled.
Strategic Placement of Fixtures: Windows and Fireplaces
The Importance of Precision: Zoom and Blue Lines
Constructing Walls and Hallways
Efficient Object Manipulation: Duplicate
Flip
and Layering
Mastering Room Creation with Precise Dimensions
The Student and Tutor focused on setting up an AutoCAD drawing template, including units and custom layers, to make future drawing more efficient. They practiced fundamental drawing and modification commands like `LINE`, `FILLET`, `JOIN`, `MIRROR`, `OFFSET`, `MOVE`, `GROUP`, and `DIMENSION`. The Student was assigned to practice these commands by creating new drawings before the next session.
