Industry Background: Previous experience designing exhibition stands, below-the-line (BTL) activations, event environments, pop-up spaces, or temporary structures will be considered a strong advantage.

Software Skills: Excellent knowledge of AutoCAD and SketchUp, with the ability to produce both 3D concepts and detailed technical drawings.

Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of construction methods, fabrication techniques, structural considerations, and installation requirements.

Material Expertise: Very good knowledge of construction and decorative materials, finishes, and their practical applications.

Creative Thinking: Ability to develop original, visually compelling spatial concepts while maintaining a practical, solution-oriented approach.

Budget Awareness: Understanding of how design decisions affect production costs, with the ability to propose realistic alternatives within budget constraints.
