I teach SketchUp as a professional design tool—working with designers, architects, contractors, educators, and teams to build cleaner models, stronger workflows, and better project outcomes.

I help professionals build clean, repeatable workflows so models stay organized, edits are predictable, and visuals are presentation ready.

"As a small museum with a limited staff, the implementation of SketchUp has been transformative in how we conceive, plan, stage, and install exhibitions. This shift would not have been possible without Daniel’s foundational modeling of the museum and his subsequent staff training.

Building on that strong groundwork, his clear and accessible instruction has made SketchUp an essential tool for the institution as we undertake increasingly ambitious projects."

“The SketchUp Trainer team implemented a statewide training series for NYSDOT, covering Sketchup Pro and Enscape 3D. The sessions were delivered on time and within budget. The training modules were designed to allow staff to refer back to key components after the sessions.

The virtual classes and recorded materials were migrated to a custom SharePoint site created by the SketchUp Trainer team, providing on-demand learning resources for both current and new employees.”

Private Training

“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.”

"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."
