  • Support drafting tasks for a Master Plan project in Dubai, adapting to international project requirements.
  • Organize and maintain drawing files, ensuring clarity and consistency across all deliverables.
  • Collaborate with the client to stay aligned on scope, timelines, and expectations.
  • Contribute to graphic presentations using Illustrator to enhance visual communication.
