Private Training

Whether you’re running into workflow bottlenecks, tackling complex modeling challenges, or just need an expert to look over your setup, private training gives you focused, project-based support.

What you’ll walk away with

Targeted problem-solving

We’ll identify what’s slowing you down in SketchUp or Enscape and fix it with clear, step-by-step guidance—directly in your files.

Live expert coaching

Work with me, Dan Brown, in real time. Share your screen, ask questions, and get immediate feedback on your models, workflows, and deliverables.

Project-specific solutions

Bring your client work, internal standards, or upcoming presentations. You’ll leave with a concrete plan you can reuse on future projects.

Who I work with

Here are a few of the types of professionals I regularly work with and what we focus on together:

Architects, Interior Designers, and Landscape Designers
Refining design workflows, modeling standards, and client presentations so SketchUp supports the way you design instead of getting in the way.

Contractors and Builders
Using SketchUp for project planning, construction sequencing, and site coordination with clear, accurate models that are easy to update.

Design Teams and Firms
Aligning teams around shared standards for modeling, tagging, templates, and deliverables so work looks consistent across staff and projects.

Advanced and Power Users
Streamlining complex workflows, integrating extensions, improving rendering, and getting more out of SketchUp, LayOut, and Enscape as a unified system.

You don’t have to fit perfectly into one category - if you rely on SketchUp and want expert support, we can tailor private training to you.

"Daniel was a pleasure to work with. He is highly skilled and took the time to really listen to our goals, helping us clearly visualize our project in a way that was both thoughtful and precise. His ability to translate ideas into compelling visuals made the process smooth and productive. We’re very glad we had the opportunity to work with him."
