Interviews with professional 3D artists
3D architectural visualization is an essential tool for designing and presenting environments and spaces. Through exclusive interviews, we give a voice to industry professionals: this way, 3D artists, designers, and architects can share their experiences, offering practical advice and work strategies.
Discover their rendering and 3D modeling techniques, the challenges they face in projects, and the innovations transforming the industry.
On 3D Architettura, we explore the most advanced methodologies for turning ideas into impactful visual representations, since we focus on everything from conceptual models to final renderings.
I am Sina Owlia, an architect from Turkey, specializing in 3D modeling, visualization, and photorealistic rendering, with a strong focus on interior design. Over the past few years, I have worked on numerous built and executed projects, combining design skills with advanced rendering techniques to bring concepts to life.
What fascinates me most about Archviz is the possibility of giving color and shape to someone else's story, dream and thought, of course with the touch of my identity, but being able to create a visual for someone's story is always incredible.
Our goal is to make our animated video films and images evoke feelings and tell stories about the objects from which they are created.

Each interview balances technical insight with creative vision, highlighting the relevance (or irrelevance!) of academic training in today’s professional world. Whether you’re a student, a young creative, or simply curious about the human side of 3D graphics, these stories offer inspiration, honesty, and a glimpse into the exciting futures these alumni are shaping.
Giorgia Viscardi – Finding a Personal Language Through 3D Modelling
Moving between languages, fashion design and digital tools, Giorgia Viscardi has found in 3D modelling a personal way of thinking, teaching and creating. In this conversation, she reflects on a non-linear educational path, the discipline of learning through mistakes, and how virtual modelling became not just a skill, but a method for understanding ideas, tools and herself.
Sam Donyagard — From Construction Sites to Sensory Spaces
Sam Donyagard's architectural journey began not in a classroom, but on real-world construction sites at just seventeen. Guided by early hands-on experience and a deep familial connection to architecture, Sam’s career evolved from executive leadership to a profound, emotionally driven approach to design.
Mirella Dimitrova – From Event Design to Immersive Worlds
With a background that stretches from Sofia to Scotland and Milan to Dubai, Mirella Dimitrova is a creative mind constantly in motion, shaping experiences where music, space, and storytelling meet.
