I help people with a creative background get back into hand drawing and explore the world of architectural and urban sketching in a relaxed way by teaching them how to express themselves and their surroundings through drawing.

I created this Interior Design Class to share my knowledge, tips, and tricks for creating beautiful floor plans so you can learn how to hand draw any interior space in plan view, creatively document a space, and have fun drawing

You are not alone if

• You think you are pretty good at drawing but you want to learn more about technical drawing skills

• You want to be able to draw floor plans and share them with confidence

• You’re not an architect but you want to learn to draw like one and see the world through a new lens

• You are addicted to Dream Home Makeover, The Home Edit, and other Netflix binge-worthy design programs but you have no idea where to start

• You want to go to Art College or University but you need to build a portfolio of amazing work

• You can draw but you haven’t for ages, and you want to get back into it

I get it, I was there too

From a struggling High School student to a university scholarship student, I know how to develop creative hand-drawing skills to help you stand out

Imagine this…

• You have designed your new (insert room) in your head, now you can easily draw it up in plan view to help explain to someone

• You open your portfolio at an interview and proudly present your drawings; plans, sketches, colour palettes, and material boards, and more. Offer me a place on the course, hire me…say yes!!

• You feel ready to take on your first client - you walk into their space, sketch out the ‘as existing’ floor plan, and discuss proposed design ideas to help them create a beautifully functional space.

What our students are saying

“Lovely class to help you loosen up your hand and get practical about drawing a floor plan. It's really easy and straightforward as it's a beginner’s level, you won't be scaling things proportionally or doing any measurements…it's very insightful and helpful for anyone starting up.”

Student Testimonial

“This was so much fun for me, I have experience drawing floor plans just from copying existing ones but it was great to understand what all the lines mean, when to use them, and how to draw people in a room”
