I have been working with interior designers, architects and homeowners doing freelance 3d modelling and rendering work for 7+ yrs and online tutorials for 5+yrs.

​

I also have a few SketchUp online courses available contact me for more info.

I am certified in CAD with experience in Sketchup, AutoCAD, and Blender. I can teach you the basic tools of Sketchup 101 as well as 3D thinking and visualization. I love teaching and helping people to shape their ideas through 3D design. Whether you want to learn a specific software, or a whole computer pipeline, I am happy to help you learn at your pace to a high level of proficiency.

Many people struggle with software when they begin, and start to wonder if they are able to learn to the extent they hope. My goal is to help you get past that initial struggle and learn the ins and outs of whatever you are trying to learn. My classes are tailored to my students and their interests, whether you are an architect or an interior designer, a city planner or a product designer, or anything else!​

Over 30 years experience with 3D CAD software as well as manufacturing software especially in the precision sheet metal field. – I remain current in SketchUp and SolidWORKS software as the software(s) evolves.

SketchUp allows a designer to quickly build a concept and much more including 3d architectural rendering.

SolidWORKS allows for a more parametric or geometry driven interactive design with “real world” implications.

Hi, My name is Joshua. I have a graduated The Architectural Design program at Long Beach City College but I’m not going to bore you with all those technical terms and all that: “I did this and that”.

I’m a married man who still thinks that he’s the man of the house but I always end up doing what my wife says and wants. I know a thing for sure: I Love what i’m doing so much that even my wife can’t interrupt me while I’m working at something . I love doing 3D photorealistic videos and renderings and floor plans so much that if You ask me nicely I will work for you for free haha. Disclaimer: my passion for architecture is contagious and there’s no vaccine against it. I once went to my guitar class and we ended up spending the hour showing my teacher how to measure his own house using a laser distance measurer. And that’s how you find out that music is another passion of mine.

I will love to get in touch with You and work together on some projects.

Vladimir Simonovski is a structural engineer and co-founder of a structural consulting company comprised of highly skilled engineers, designers, and forward-thinkers. Prior to co-starting his own company, Vladimir gathered extensive design and construction knowledge and experience by working on high-profile infrastructure projects around the U.S. On some projects, his experience was gathered by being a part of the design team, and on other projects Vladimir made his presence known in the field by directly getting involved in construction as part of the construction team. This balanced mix of experience, coupled with a strong work ethic, gave Vladimir the outlet for his interest in reinventing how problems are viewed and finding solutions by utilizing technologies such as 3D modeling, virtual reality, 3D printing, scanning, implementation of new materials, and more.

His enthusiasm can be seen from the numerous three-dimensional modeling manuals that he has prepared over the years. Vladimir has conducted training for construction companies on the effective use of the SketchUp application and how it can fill the effectiveness gap where other CAD applications cannot. During these training sessions, a special emphasis is given to the idea of Information Modeling and proper organization in the heavy civil industry. Additionally, his 3D modeling work was published by the American Society of Civil Engineers – ASCE, under the practice periodicals on structural design and construction. The paper was written based on a real-life beam erection scenario in which Vladimir was heavily involved and where 3D modeling was used extensively to plan and test multiple critical girder picks. Additionally, Vladimir also published a book titled SketchUp for Civil Engineering and the Heavy Construction Industry: Modeling Workflow and Problem Solving for Design and Construction, where a large number of everyday uses for SketchUp in the construction industry were compiled in an easy-to-use manual.

Hi, my name is Geoff. I have been a professional designer since 1999, and a 3D modeling teacher since 2005. I’ve taught Sketchup at Front Range Community College, the University of Colorado and have taught hundreds of students online. My interest in SketchUp started with my love for snowboarding. I started designing and building snowboard parks when I was 18. SketchUp was the perfect tool for the job. It allowed me to quickly draw the 3D ideas I had in my head. In the summers, I started teaching architects how to use the program. Compared to the complex curves of terrain parks, the straight lines in architecture were easy. Over the years I made thousands of models and have expanded my skills to include product design, 3D print modeling, construction documents, Layout, piping models, topographic models, and various other projects. SketchUp has helped me realize my love for design, modeling, and teaching. I’d like share my love for the program with you, complete your drawings, and help you meet your deadlines. No matter where you live, what age, or what ability level, I can help you realize your dreams in 3D!

Hello, my name is Anthony R, I started drafting when I was 15 for the family business. My father is a fine finish general contractor and cabinet manufacturer, and grandfather was an architect. Neither of them used cad, so I began inputting hand sketches into 3D Autocad when I was 15 years old. Over 10 years ago, I began utilizing solidworks for creative product development, sculptures, furniture, and full production drawings for architectural metal and glass fabrication. My unique skill set has opened doors for me to stay consistently busy as a subcontracted designer/developer in Seattle, Portland, Brooklyn, and most recently Spokane/Coeur d’Alene.

My favorite projects are ultra high end luxury residential design for fabrication featuring steel, stainless and glass with an emphasis on invisible fastening, modularity and seamless aesthetics. I spent over 3 years mastering waterjet cutting stained and fusible art glass, glass bending, laminated glass, and have worked for some incredible glass artists and architectural glass installers in the Pacific Northwest and NYC.

I’ve developed horticultural, architectural and artistic lighting products that meet UL and other safety certification requirements. I can take any concept, project, or product, and refine it into an incredible finished product with exceptional speed and accuracy, ready to be manufactured utilizing whatever supply chain best suited for your application and volume.

I’ve designed custom aluminum extrusions, custom sheet metal forming and turret tools, and even developed and patented several state of the art manufacturing processes and origami-inspired structural shapes that provide exceptional strength:weight ratios and require no fasteners or welding thanks to the proprietary folding and joining methods.

My favorite manufacturing technology is hands down LASERS, whether it’s sheet metal laser cutting, tube laser cutting or handheld laser welding, I’m all about lasers. In addition to launching my own product lines, consulting, and training; I’m also a sales rep for the most innovative handheld laser welding machine that makes welding beautiful handheld seams in nearly all metals easier than running a caulk bead.

I am also highly preferential to CNC waterjet cutting, have developed several concepts related to hyper-sonic hydro-pneumatic machining, continuous loop abrasive recycle cutting, and innovative fixturing and material support systems.

I can do projects simple or highly complex, communicate and train efficiently, and make it fun along the way. If you are interested in learning more about Solidworks, product development, manufacturing, or just simple 3d modeling for 3d printing, I’d love to work with you and get you to where you want to go.
