Are you a…

‘TechnophobIC THeresa’?

Theresa knows she should be creating technical drawings in SketchUp, but the whole thing feels so overwhelming, she’d rather bury her head in the sand and pretend it doesn’t exist 🙈 Sound familiar?

Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking…

Learning technical drawings looks really hard…”

If that’s you… you’re not alone! 💛

The Truth Is:

you’re missing out

SketchUp has a bit of a mixed reputation in the design world, but it’s genuinely one of the most powerful tools you can have in your toolkit. It’s intuitive enough to get started quickly, yet flexible enough to grow with you as your skills evolve. Instead of second-guessing your ideas or struggling to explain them, SketchUp helps you bring your designs to life, test concepts with ease, and present your work in a way that truly connects with clients. From rough ideas to polished visuals, it makes the entire design process faster, clearer, and far more professional. Once you start using it, you’ll wonder how you ever worked without it.

Take it from me…

digital skills open doors

As an interior designer, I’ve always loved the creative side of the job. I enjoyed sketching ideas by hand, but over time I realised there was an opportunity to take my client experience to another level. I wanted clients to do more than imagine my ideas. I wanted them to truly see them.

Learning SketchUp transformed the way I worked. Instead of relying solely on drawings and floor plans, I could create detailed 3D models and realistic renders that brought my designs to life. Clients could visualise their future spaces with confidence, often having those wonderful “wow, that’s exactly what I pictured” moments. Those skills opened doors, elevating my presentations and enhancing the service I could offer.

That’s exactly why I created this site and training. There are so many talented designers holding themselves back unnecessarily. These skills are absolutely worth learning, and they’re far more achievable than you might think. I’m here to help you.

Yes. This course has been designed using the full suite of SketchUp features, which are only available in the licensed version of the software. You’ll need access to SketchUp Pro to follow along fully.

If you’re purchasing one of the pricing options above that includes a licence, your SketchUp Pro access is already covered. The only exception is the ‘Course Only’ option, which is designed for those who have already purchased their SketchUp licence elsewhere. Either way, you need a SketchUp Pro licence to be able to follow the trainings.

The course is self-paced, so you can work through it in your own time. Some people like to move through it quickly over a few weeks, while others prefer to spread it out alongside their work or studies. You’ll have the flexibility to learn in a way that suits your schedule.

The course is delivered through an online learning platform, with step-by-step video lessons you can follow at your own pace. You’ll also have access to a tutor- managed Facebook group to answer all of your questions during the working week.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently create technical drawings, floor plans, elevations, and 3D models using SketchUp. You’ll also be able to present your work in a clear, professional way that communicates your ideas effectively.

Access is provided for 12 months, giving you plenty of time to complete the course and revisit the material as needed.
