My Journey with SketchUp

My passion for SketchUp began during my architecture studies in Madrid. Initially self-taught, I quickly recognized its potential for bringing architectural visions to life in 3D. Having previously used AutoCAD, I found SketchUp to be a refreshing and intuitive alternative, sparking a love for graphic representation. This makes it ideal for university students looking to gain a competitive edge.

After graduating, I worked in architecture studios in Slovenia, specializing in 3D representation and rendering. I honed my SketchUp skills, discovering its depth and power while maintaining its user-friendly nature.

My career evolved to teaching at creative schools, where I developed and refined this comprehensive SketchUp curriculum. The shift to online teaching during the pandemic allowed me to synthesize over ten years of experience into a structured and engaging learning program. This course is designed to be both professional and enjoyable, providing you with the knowledge and skills to excel in 3D modeling.

Throughout the course, you'll receive personalized guidance to ensure your success. I'm excited to help you unlock your creative potential with SketchUp and LAYOUT!
