About
Hi,
I’m Suja Arun, and I’m D-Arch Holder (second rank in state level) with over 19 years of comprehensive Architectural and Interior experience with clients from all over the world. I have done extensive work in Designing, Drafting, and Documentation for Architectural firms, first in India (my first 5.5 years), then as a US outsource asset (3 years), and now with firms globally as a remote freelancer (the past 9 years).
Through my varied career trajectory, I’ve learned the most important factors in undertaking and completing top quality work: creativity, a strong work ethic, and open communication. As a freelancer, I ensure that all these aspects are evident and prevalent in my work with each and every client. Each project comes with unlimited revisions and readily available source files, and 24/7 support to answer all questions, queries, and concerns.
The following list is a collection of my offered services and the tools and software I use to perform them. If you have any questions about any of them (or anything not listed), feel free to reach out and ask:
● Preparation of Design Brief
● Design and Site Development
● MEP Design
● Landscape Architecture
● Interior Design
● Architectural Conservation
● AutoCAD
● Sketchup
● Adobe Photoshop
All of these services are guaranteed to be creatively imagined, accurately crafted, and of original thought and design. I will work with you to create something that not only fits what you’re looking for but elevates it into something that is simultaneously eye-catching and structurally sound.
If you’re interested in working with me, I’m always available through Freelancer and would love to chat with you about your project and how we can design and develop it. Send me a message whenever is convenient, and we can get started!
Thanks,
Suja Arun
