Client Referrals

Once in a while, a potential client asks for referrals; I am surprised it isn't more often. The other day I got a call from an Architect looking for some architectural renderings. After receiving the brief, this potential client asked for some referrals. I was happy to give a list of some of my recent clients and once the clients were contacted, I received this email.

Thank you for checking back in. I must warn you, your references told me not to use you… because they didn’t want you to get too busy! Aside from that, they had very complimentary things to say about you and your work!
— Architect

There isn't anything more pleasing then to hear that you are treating your clients right.

11 Exeter Street Interior Renderings

Here, the designer is responsible for all architecture and branding of the building. The designer needs renderings for pre-sell purposes. The renderings will be used on the building's website and in marketing materials. The purpose of the renderings is to give buyers a realistic idea of the level of finishes and size of the units.

iPad Pro 12.9"

My experience with the iPad Pro 12.9". Awesome! Because of the large screen real estate you get a much heavier device and shorter battery life, but the tradeoff is worth it. The Apple Pencil is also awesome. Since it was made for the iPad Pro, it is seamless. I have tried almost every stylus, both cheap and expensive, and none worked well. The keyboard is also done very well. The keys are solid and integrated into the smart cover. When you fold the keyboard backwards, it goes away. I would like illuminated keys and a sound control, but other than that it is worth the money.

Now, about money. Not many people have a grand to drop, so it isn't for everyone. Luckily, for me, I can write it off. It isn't a laptop replacement like the Surface Pro; it is just a larger iPad. The iPad starts at $799, the smart keyboard cover is $169 and the pencil is $99. If it were a laptop replacement, the price would be a bargain, but since it isn't, it's an expensive way to surf the web

Chicago Townhouse Interior Rendering

One of my favorite clients, Z Feng Architect and Company. I actually worked with Zisong, while working for Lowenberg & Associates, out of Chicago. Both Zisong and I left Loewenberg, I believe I left first, and we reconnected on LinkedIn many years later.

Awhile back, probably one year ago, I worked on the exterior of the Morse building. Just the other day Zisong reached out to me for the interior.

Yes, those are pokemon pillows on the couch :)

Townhouse Renderings

These townhouse renderings came together nicely and I hope you agree. Originally, the architect reached out to me with the need for a single structure design, which I was glad to illustrate for him. The project has since fallen into the developers hands, and they have an opportunity to expand the project.

Over the past week, I worked hard to create something that I think will help them with their marketing.

House Renderings

When our Canadian neighbors reach down from above, to contract work, they are willing to pay a premium, which is a feel good moment. Here, are some recent homes I illustrated for a Canadian builder.
