About Me

My journey in architecture and design began during my vocational school years studying building design, a passion that has grown into a full professional practice over the past 8 years. This page presents my architectural visualization portfolio, professional background, and technical expertise across design and rendering disciplines.

Based in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, I work across three disciplines: architectural design, interior design, and architectural visualization. I help developers, contractors, and fellow designers move from early concept through spatial planning, working drawings, and photorealistic renders, giving every project a clear, compelling visual presence from start to finish. All client projects are carried out under Aestivis Atelier, the design studio I founded and lead.

I believe great visualization is more than beautiful renders. It's about understanding the intent behind a space and translating it into images that feel real. My background in design means every lighting setup, material detail, and composition is approached with a designer's eye before a single frame is delivered.

My technical toolkit includes AutoCAD, SketchUp, D5 Render, Enscape, and AI-powered tools, a combination that lets me work efficiently across design and visualization without compromising quality.

Designer & 3D Visualizer

Freelancer

With over 8 years of independent practice, I have collaborated with architects, interior designers, developers, and consultants across Indonesia and internationally. My freelance work spans a wide range of project types including residential, commercial, hospitality, and mixed-use developments.

Every project is handled with a full-service approach, from initial concept and 3D modeling to photorealistic rendering and final presentation. I bring a perfectionist eye to every detail, from lighting and materiality to spatial composition, ensuring each visual accurately represents the design intent and exceeds client expectations.

Known for clear communication, consistent progress updates, and reliable on-time delivery, I have built long-term relationships with clients who value both quality and professionalism. Whether working on a single render or a complete visualization package, my commitment to excellence remains the same on every project.
