* Create or review 2D layouts and 3D design concepts.
* Prepare quotations, material specifications, and project proposals.
* Source materials, furniture, lighting, and finishes from suppliers.
* Visit renovation sites to inspect progress and ensure work quality.
* Coordinate with carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, and other contractors.
* Solve on-site issues and make design adjustments when necessary.
* Update clients on project progress and answer their questions.
* Manage project schedules and ensure deadlines are met.
* Take photos and videos of completed projects for your portfolio and social media.
* Follow up with new enquiries and existing clients.
