Learn SketchUp directly with Dan in focused, time-bound training programs built around cleaner models, better workflows, and client-ready presentations.
Â
Live training gives you structure, momentum, and a more practical way to use SketchUp as a tool you can rely on.
Steven Christopher Carey, 3D Visualizer
"Dan's classes and techniques have been a regular part of my toolbox for the better part of a decade. I've taken 3 multi-week sessions with Dan over the years and each session has upped my game to the next level, really enhancing the quality of the renderings and 3D visualizations I'm able to provide my clients.
He's a thoughtful and patient teacher and has always made himself available to me whenever I had a question, whether about SketchUp, rendering softwares, or the 3D design business in general. I would highly recommend his classes to anyone seeking to increase their knowledge or standards in regard to 3D modeling and rendering."

What You’ll Walk Away With
Cleaner models, a more reliable workflow, and repeatable steps you can use on real projects
Â
→ 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.
Â
Cohort & Mini-Course 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 in between sessions to apply what you’re learning to your own work.
- These are live, small-group online training programs, 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.

→ 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.
Â
Training Format
-
In two focused days, you’ll 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.

MEET YOUR TEACHER
Hi, I'm Dan
Â
Most people are taught SketchUp as a collection of tools. But real projects require a process.
I get it.
Files change. Clients give feedback. Deadlines matter. Models need to stay organized, editable, and ready to present.
Â
"My approach is interactive and project-based—simple and dependable—focused on clean models, reliable workflows, and client-ready visuals.
I put a strong emphasis on foundational skills, because in design and architecture, everything depends on a strong foundation."
