Meet Your Teacher
Hi, I'm DanÂ
and all in-person workshops and live webinars are led by me.
Â
I’m the founder of SketchUpTrainer.com
—an educator, designer, and (last but not least) a SketchUp expert.
- 15+ years of experience as a SketchUp trainer & consultant
- 10 years teaching SketchUp at the college level
- Trained thousands of architects, designers, and contractors
- Since 2007, I’ve been helping professionals master 3D modeling, streamline their workflows, and bring complex projects to life.
"My approach is interactive and project-based—simple and dependable—focused on clean models, reliable workflows, and client-ready visuals.
Â
I put a strong emphasis on foundational skills, because in design and architecture, everything depends on a strong foundation."
Virtual
WebinarsÂ
Live online cohorts (2–4 weeks)
Â
Webinar Structure
- Over the course of a few weeks, you’ll feel a real shift in how SketchUp fits into your work. Not “I watched a few tutorials and I’m piecing it together,” but more like: I understand the process, my model is staying cleaner, and I know how to move from idea to presentation.
- This format is designed for steady progress. Instead of trying to learn everything in one session, you’ll build skills week by week, with time to practice between sessions and apply what you’re learning to your own work.
- These are live, small-group online trainings, so you’re not left figuring things out on your own. You’ll get clear instruction, practical demos, real-time Q&A, and space to ask questions as challenges come up.
Â
What You’ll Walk Away With
→ Cleaner models, a more reliable workflow, and repeatable steps you can use on real projects
→ A strong fit for busy schedules - because you can learn in focused chunks without travel, and replays are included so you can revisit the material or catch up if you miss a session.

Kevin Moyer, Owner, Vermont Frames
“Dan is a phenomenal teacher. He intuitively understands how to build up the basics skills and workflows for a variety of different SketchUp use cases. I work in a niche industry with unusual requirements and he was able to come up with a SketchUp curriculum for me that had me fluent with the basics SketchUp in a matter of weeks. Dan is also just a pleasure to work with and a lot of fun to learn from.”

Workshops
Two-day, in-person intensives (Philadelphia)

Training Format
-
In one week you will feel the difference in how SketchUp works for you. Not “I’m kind of figuring it out as I go,” but more like: I know what I’m doing, my model stays organized, and I can set up views that make presenting the design feel straightforward.
-
Fast progress in a focused, distraction-free setting. You’ll build a solid SketchUp foundation, strengthen your day-to-day process, and leave with models you can keep developing after class.
-
This is hands-on, small-group training, so it’s not just watching demos. You’ll get real-time feedback, plenty of Q&A, and a chance to connect with other designers who are building the same skillset.
Â
All In-Person Workshops Include
→ 12 months of the SketchUp Trainer Learning Pass ($349 value): Yearly access to the full course library, Project Clinics, and ongoing support
→ There’s a difference when you learn in person —you’re not just watching,
 you’re doing it, fixing it, and building the habit as you go.
