• Trend & Innovation: Track global trends (AR / VR, immersive content, sustainable materials, modular builds) and bring practical innovations into live projects.
• Commercial Support: Partner with BD / Account teams on briefs, scopes, BOQs, and value-engineered alternatives without compromising design integrity.
