Drawing & visual communication: Strong emphasis on technical drawing, freehand sketching, colour studies, and visual presentation builds confidence in communicating ideas clearly.
Furniture, lighting & detailing: Specialist modules allow you to design interior elements in depth, linking aesthetics with comfort, usability, and technical accuracy.
