AI, Architecture & Selling Your Design | Sobiya Munawar × Divya Goel

Great design is only part of the story. How do you communicate its value? Architect and GenAI educator Sobiya Munawar joins me, Divya Goel, on The Geeks Design Show to talk about architecture, marketing, storytelling and AI—and what happens when your career grows beyond the studio. We explore the connection between design intent and buyer expectations, the responsibility behind AI-assisted property visuals, and why learning a workflow matters more than chasing the next tool. We also put six industry statements through HYPE or HOLD and try a live apartment pitch, before and with AI. What is harder for you: creating the work or communicating its value? Tell us in the comments.
