About

Hi, I’m Catalina, an architectural drafter and 3D visualizer based in Chile, working remotely with clients worldwide.

Since 2019 I’ve worked as a freelance architectural visualizer, turning sketches and design ideas into clear technical drawings and photorealistic renders. I’m currently studying Architecture at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, so I understand how projects are designed and built, not just how they’re drawn.

What I can do for you:

2D drafting in AutoCAD: floor plans, sections, elevations, and details
Converting hand sketches, PDFs, or scanned plans into clean CAD files
As-built drawings and construction document sets
Revit and SketchUp modeling
Photorealistic renders with V-Ray, Lumion, and Enscape
Presentation boards with Adobe Creative Suite

Tools: AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, V-Ray, Lumion, Enscape, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign

I’m fully bilingual in English and Spanish, detail-oriented, and used to meeting deadlines on remote projects. Send me your sketch or file and I’ll tell you how I can help.
