SketchUp for Graphic Designers

SketchUp, taught through an Adobe lens.

Most SketchUp tutorials assume you think like an architect. You think like a designer — and that's the advantage. You live in Adobe. You already understand colour, composition, and brand. What you're adding is a spatial vocabulary.

I trained as an architect and spent 15 years designing branded retail environments. When I started teaching SketchUp to graphic designers, I stopped explaining it like an architect would and started connecting it to what they already knew. 3D isn't a different kind of talent. It's the same eye, working in space.
These tutorials start where you already are and build from there.
Free SketchUp tutorials for Adobe users.

WHO THIS IS FOR
Add the dimension your work is missing.

For 2D designers who want range, not a new career. A touch of 3D makes everything better — environmental design, branded spaces, packaging, posters, infographics, or even landing pages. The work you already do, with depth.

Not for game or character design.

    This is where I test what I teach. My ongoing design experiments push AI rendering, spatial workflows, and new techniques — shared honestly, before they're polished.
