MBTC SS02 EP11 | Rendering a Creative Life | From Shoes to Skylines with Christian Flores-Nunes
<p>In this episode of Musings Behind the Creative, we speak with Christian Flores Nunez about a journey that doesn’t follow the neat lines we’re often told professional careers should.Christian’s path moves from working in retail at Clarks, to navigating large commercial environments like the Business Design Centre, to producing high-level CGI and visualisation work for international architectural practices — including time working alongside global studios such as HKS.Now operating independently, Christian reflects on:* Learning through practice rather than prescription* Translating architectural thinking into visual language* The realities of CGI as a career within (and adjacent to) architecture* Building confidence and authorship outside traditional routesThis is a conversation about skill, patience, and finding clarity through doing — particularly relevant for students, Part 3 candidates, and early-career practitioners questioning where they fit within the profession.Musings Behind the Creative#Architecture #ArchitecturalVisualisation #CGI #CreativeCareers #ProfessionalPractice #MusingsBehindTheCreative</p>
