Industry Experience

Real Estate & Construction, Professional Services, Media & Entertainment
    paper 2025 - European Real Estate

    Over the years, I have developed long-standing collaborations with European real estate agencies and developers, supporting residential projects from early marketing phases through to final commercialization. Working notably with agencies such as Honesty and developers including Gérard Construct, I have delivered consistent visual tools tailored to off-plan sales strategies: colorized sales plans, interior 3D renderings, and apartment showcase visuals designed to support marketing clarity and buyer projection.

    This ongoing collaboration reflects a shared, long-term approach focused on reliability, visual consistency across project phases, and adaptability to evolving budgets and communication needs. My role has been to provide efficient, sales-oriented visualization while maintaining continuity from one development phase to the next—supporting developers and agencies as trusted partners rather than one-off suppliers.

    paper 2025 - Western Slope, CO - HBA & Local Builders industry

    Over the years, Tandem Studio has built a strong and ongoing collaboration with the local building community in Western Colorado. Working closely with builders, designers, and developers, I support residential projects from early concept stages through final marketing — providing clear, realistic 3D renderings that help communicate design intent, secure approvals, and showcase homes before construction begins.

    As a proud member of the HBA of Western Colorado, my involvement extends beyond individual projects to a long-term commitment to elevating how local construction is presented — notably through continued support of the Parade of Homes and builder-focused marketing efforts across the Grand Valley and Western Slope.

    uniE608 2025 - Grand Junction, CO - D51 Outdoor Wilderness Lab
    This project is a visual and conceptual study exploring how the Outdoor Wilderness Lab could function on the Wilwood property beginning in 2026–2027 and how it may evolve in the years that follow. Through a series of renderings, video sequences, and a dedicated presentation webpage, the study illustrates how the site can welcome students, teachers, and facilitators in a low-impact, nature-focused environment.
    paper 2025 - 3D Rendering Services for Developers & Contractors

    3D Rendering Services for Developers – Visualize the Future with Clarity

    Bring your development projects to life before the first shovel hits the ground. I offer high-quality 3D rendering services tailored to real estate developers looking to market and communicate upcoming subdivisions, multi-family homes, or condominium buildings.

    Whether you’re preparing to launch pre-sales, attract investors, or guide planning approvals, my visuals help translate architectural intent into compelling, photorealistic imagery that connects with your audience.

    Services include:

    Site-integrated renderings showing new builds within their natural or urban context

    Conceptual home designs modeled directly over civil plans

    Flexible visual styles (from clean massing to fully detailed) to match the project’s phase

    Marketing-ready images ideal for signage, brochures, websites, and presentations

    With a focus on clear communication, fast turnaround, and collaborative workflow, I help you present future homes as livable, desirable, and grounded in the surrounding environment.

    Let’s turn your vision into images that sell.

    paper 2025 - Interior Design Renderings

    Step inside a world where every detail matters. This collection showcases a curated selection of residential interior renderings—from traditional charm to transitional elegance and contemporary flair. Each image reflects a close collaboration with talented interior designers, bringing their vision to life with clarity, style, and precision. Whether it’s the soft play of natural light, the texture of a surface, or the balance of space and color, these renderings are crafted to inspire and communicate design intent with warmth and realism.

    paper 2025 - Colorado - Phoenix Haus

    Ongoing collaboration with Phoenix Haus, supporting their luxury home and ADU portfolio through high-end 3D visualization and development studies. Over the course of this long-term partnership, I provide consistent architectural storytelling, realistic site integration, and refined landscape context to help communicate design intent, support sales, and explore future development potential with clarity and elegance.
