Job description

The role

This role is for someone who can turn design thinking into clear and compelling visual communication.

Working closely with our lighting designers, you will create architectural renders, Photoshop lighting studies, diagrams and presentations that communicate both the intent and experience of light. The role sits between visualisation, lighting and graphic communication—from developing an image to composing how the complete design story is presented.

About Us

Mandala is an independent, award-recognised lighting design studio established in New Delhi in 2006 by Manav Bhargava. Working with electric light and daylight, we approach light as a quiet narrative layer that shapes how spaces are felt, understood and remembered.

Our work spans architecture, urban environments, cultural and heritage spaces, hospitality, residences and artistic interventions. Each project brings together contextual thinking, creative inquiry and technical rigour, carrying ideas from concept through execution.

The same spirit shapes the way we work as a studio. People learn through real involvement, are encouraged to ask questions and contribute ideas, and take on greater responsibility as their capability and experience grow.

What we are looking for

• A strong portfolio of architectural or interior visualisation
• Advanced proficiency in Photoshop, including image compositing, lighting effects, material correction and post-production
• Proficiency in at least one 3D modelling and rendering workflow
• A good understanding of architecture, scale, materials, light and shadow
• Strong composition, colour, typography and presentation-layout skills
• The ability to read architectural drawings and translate sketches, references and design direction into visuals
• Attention to detail and the ability to develop work through feedback and multiple iterations
• Experience with InDesign, Illustrator, animation or video editing is an advantage. Applicants may come from architecture, interiors, architectural visualisation, animation, visual communication or a related design field.

What we offer

• The opportunity to work specifically with light, atmosphere and architectural experience
• Projects across cultural, heritage, hospitality, residential, urban and artistic contexts
• Close collaboration with lighting designers from early concept through project presentation
• Scope to develop both visualisation and design-communication skills
• A full-time, studio-based position in New Delhi
