ABOUT DAVID
I Help architects, designers, & hobby sketchers become confident in their traditional and digital drawing skills to better communicate their ideas and observations.
In today's world focused on technology, we sometimes forget how such simple tools as pen and paper can help us brainstorm and communicate ideas, quickly iterate a design, solve a problem, or simply understand a perceived object or our own thoughts.
As featured in / worked with:
Architects and designers are busy people.
We don’t have time in between all the planning, meetings, and technical drawing to learn how to sketch.
Architecture schools and universities don’t teach traditional sketching and drawing skills as much anymore as it’s been overshadowed by technology. And while technological progress is great, sketching is still so important. It can help any designer to communicate a brilliant idea more quickly and effectively than almost anything else.
Sometimes this is using the humble pen and paper. Other times an iPad and an app can give an idea the polish it needs to impress a client and get sign-off.
I’ve designed the courses and books on Sketch Like an Architect to help everyone, from architects to engineers, interior designers, arborists and everything in between, even those who just love to sketch for fun.
And that’s the thing— learning to sketch should be fun! I hope that’s what you find here at Sketch Like an Architect — guidance that’s enjoyable, useful and easy to follow.
I’m looking forward to embarking on this learning journey with you.
