Who this is for

Built for working interior designers.

If you design for clients, this is the complete system for your 2D and 3D work.

Built around Chief Architect.

The training and libraries are prepared for Chief Architect. The rendering and client apps run in your browser.

Built to give you your hours back.

Renders take seconds instead of hours, and fixtures are ready to place instead of built by hand. That time goes back into client work.

Built from 2,000+ client projects.

I made the libraries, tools, and process in this system while designing for clients. This is that work, organized.

Built to be the only system you need.

The apps, the libraries, and the 2D and 3D training all live in one place. One membership, and nothing to piece together from different subscriptions or memberships.

Built to help you win more work.

Photorealistic renderings and clean drawings help clients say yes. You present better work in less time, and that is what grows a design business.

Questions

I don't have time to learn new software.

You don't have to learn everything before it helps. Start with the libraries and the Rendering App, and take the training at your own pace.

I've never done 3D. Can I start from zero?

Yes. The training assumes you're starting from zero and moves step by step, and the libraries mean your first projects already look professional.

I tried 3D before and gave up. Will this time be different?

The courses start at the beginning, the tools run in your browser, and you can ask me when you get stuck. The second try is easier than the first.

I already do 3D. What does this add?

Drop in finished fixtures and materials instead of building them, and render in seconds instead of hours. The time you save goes back into design.

I don't own Chief Architect. Can I still use this?

The training and libraries are built for Chief Architect, so you'll get the most from them inside it. The Rendering App and the client tools run in your browser without it. If you're committed to different design software, the System isn't the right fit.

I use SketchUp. Should I switch?

A lot of people here came from SketchUp. If it's working for you, stay with it. If you're fighting it on every project, the training starts from zero and assumes no Chief Architect experience.

I'm not a designer. I'm planning my own home.

The System is built for professionals running client work. If you're designing your own space, the Design App gives you the design and rendering tools without the pro training.

Will the renders be good enough to send to clients?

They were made with the same apps and libraries you get. The portfolio has full projects to judge from.

Can I add the rest of my team?

Yes. Start your own trial first, then message me and I'll set up seats for everyone else.

What if I sign up and don't use it?

The membership is month to month with no contract, and the trial costs nothing. If it's not for you, cancel.
