Marene du Toit

I completed Matric in 2005 with full exemption and commenced my studies in Interior Architecture at the University of Pretoria in 2006. I changed direction at the end of 2007, enrolling at Inscape Design College in two courses simultaneously. Both courses were completed in 2009 whilst working at Pillow Talk, a small interior store, as the Store Manager.

In 2010 I started at Nuclear Structural Engineering (NSE) as a Junior Draughtsman. I mainly worked on finite element mesh models of nuclear structures for seismic analy- sis, wrote training courses and co-designed on steel structures.

After three years at NSE, I pursued a career in a different direction at Fedgroup as a Draughtsman in their property department. My main duties included measuring of properties, draughting as-built drawings and calculating rentable areas. I successfully completed a course at Sapoa during my work at Fedgroup. The property department later split from the parent-company and rebranded as Fieldspace Properties.

Early in 2015, I was presented with the opportunity to finish my studies in Interior Architecture at the University of Pretoria. It was a hard decision to make since the course was full-time and the implication was that I would have to leave my job. I decided to plunge in and after a rigorous process, I was granted acceptance.

I commenced my studies in 2016 as a first year student. I was awarded the best student in design in interior architecture for 2017 and received my Golden Key award after completing my Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Architecture. In 2019, I pursued post-grad studies and completed my Honours degree, earning an award for best design student in interior architecture for the year. Since February 2021, I’ve been working as an independent contractor.

I've been working as an independent Interior Architect since 2021. Prior experience include Architectural Draughting Interior Design and other Draughting work throughout the years. Please refer to my CV for more comprehensive information
