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 worked on importing a PDF architectural drawing into AutoCAD. They troubleshooted import errors and then proceeded to manually re-draft the plan within AutoCAD by tracing over a screenshot of the PDF. Suggestions were also made for improving the layout's functionality and efficiency.
