Manish Paul Simon
Hi there!I'm a Bangalore-based Architect, 3DArtist, author, and consultant, who's been teaching onUdemy since 2019. I'm also an Autodesk Certified Professional and Iwill be releasing Revit courses in few months time.
After graduating from School of Planning &Architecture, Vijayawada in 2015, Iwent on to work with eminent Architects throughout India for over 5+years. I have played many a role during this process right from being an Architect, to a 3DArtist, Interior Designer and very recently as a BIMConsultant for a large MNC. I have gained immense experience over the years and Iam now passionate about sharing this knowledge with you.
My goal as an instructor is to create comprehensive step-by-step courses that break down not only the software that us Architects use but also the thought process and the guidelines that we follow when we approach design. I like to build the kind of material that Imyself would have loved to have when I was starting out.
I'm passionate about teaching and would love to help in bringing out the "designer" within you. See you in a course soon!
P.S. I also host a podcast show called the ArchgyanPodcast which you guys can check out on any major podcast platform like Itunes, spotify, etc and on our website.
