Bio

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a professional designer with several years of experience. I have used both AutoCAD and SketchUp for well over a decade. As a designer, I have used AutoCAD to create 2D architectural drawings (floor plans, elevations, sections, etc..) and SketchUp to create digital models and, when also using Podium plug-in, realistic renderings.

In addition to some graduate architectural education, I have a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. I have gained work...

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a professional designer with several years of experience. I have used both AutoCAD and SketchUp for well over a decade. As a designer, I have used AutoCAD to create 2D architectural drawings (floor plans, elevations, sections, etc..) and SketchUp to create digital models and, when also using Podium plug-in, realistic renderings.

In addition to some graduate architectural education, I have a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. I have gained work experience from various firms and projects in different parts of the country, especially in set design and corporate and healthcare interiors.

Regarding software, I have learned over the years to quickly generate drawings with consistent accuracy, which saves a company money. I would love the opportunity to pass on my knowledge to others. Besides knowing the basics of each program, being comfortable with shortcut keys is what I have found to be important for standing out in the workplace and getting ahead.

If you would like to be faster and more efficient with AutoCAD and/or SketchUp or if you even just want to know the basics, I can help! My proficiency with both of these programs have directly contributed to my career advancement. It is imperative that designers know this software as it has been and will continue to be a staple in the industry.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Architecture

Architecture

My interior design experience encompasses all phases of design, but especially Construction Administration. I can teach others about the interior design process, drawing coordination, general terminology, and typical practice. Though most of my background is in commercial design (corporate offices), I do have some experience in other sectors of design (residential, education, retirement, multi-family, and hospitality). Also, I have been employed by both boutique and larger design firms.

Computer

AutoCAD,

AutoCAD

I am a professional designer with over 14 years of experience using AutoCAD to generate 2D architectural drawings. I consider myself one of the fastest AutoCAD users in the industry, and my peers often seek out my advice regarding this software. If hired as a tutor, the lessons would be tailored to the student's present proficiency with AutoCAD and where he/she would like to advance to. Regardless of the specific lesson, teaching shortcut keys would be included for all students as this is essential to becoming an efficient user of the software (and saving an employer money).
Sketchup

Sketchup

I am a professional designer with over 10 years of experience using SketchUp (SU) and Podium plug-in for SU, to create digital models, walk-through videos, and renderings. Like AutoCAD, I consider myself one of the fastest SU users in the industry, and, in the past, my colleagues have sought out my advice regarding this software. If hired as a tutor, the lessons would be tailored to the student's present proficiency with SU and where he/she would like to advance to. Regardless of the specific lesson, teaching shortcut keys would be included for all students as this is essential to becoming an efficient user of the software (and saving an employer money).

A Great Lesson

Amy was extremely knowledgeable and patient. She helped me review the basics of AutoCAD and introduced new skills. Highly recommended for all levels. Great use of time. Not one minute wasted.

Thank you for the feedback! I am happy that you found the lesson helpful. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Patient and attentive Autocad tutor

Since I hadn’t used Autocad in 20 years, I knew what I wanted to draw but forgot how to accomplish it. Amy was so great in how she responded to my inquiries that jumped from topic to topic. I really like how she brought in newer concepts that would be expected of me in current jobs. Her follow up PDFs were so beneficial as they included everything we covered in the session. She’s very knowledgeable about the design industry and is generous in sharing her knowledge. I wish her the best!

Thanks, Nikki! Good luck with everything as well and let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

At My Level

Amy is very knowledgeable about SketchUp, but she was patient with me and talked me through it at my level, which is very basic. She taught me short cuts, but also explained the logic behind a lot of the rules, so the lessons really sunk in. She has a lot of real world experience and is also very personable.

Excellent tutor

Amy did an AutoCad refresher class with me. She was helpful and extremely knowledgeable. She explained features of the program in a very easy to understand way. She made AutoCad easy to understandable. I highly recommend her!

Thank you Julie! It is a pleasure working with you. I am glad that the information I shared with you was helpful.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Hi, Suzie - Thank you for the feedback and for the kind remarks!

Super Smart on all things Autocad and Sketch-Up

I am taking an online auto cad class that was leaving me with a lot of questions that slowed down my work and took the fun out of learning. Amy was able to answer all my questions, give me shortcuts and helpful hints for when I get stuck. After meeting with Amy I was able to continue class and start enjoying it again. Very Thankful to Amy and will definitely call her anytime I have a question or need a little more help.

Hi Kathleen - Thank you so much for your feedback. I am happy I could help!
