Seen before it’s built.
Photorealistic stills and films of unbuilt projects, made for the client, the hearing, the lender, and the buyer. A San Luis Obispo studio working directly with architects and developers across California and the Mountain West.
Talk through a project
Inspire confidence
Every project starts with two questions: who needs to see this, and what will make them decide? For an architect, that’s the client who can’t read the plans, and the next client looking at the portfolio. For a developer, it’s the investor, the city, and the buyer who need to see the property before it exists.
When an image looks like a place that already exists, people stop debating the drawings and start wanting the building. That’s the gap we close.
“Glimpse communicates what drawings and words simply cannot. I’ve had clients go from questioning design decisions to becoming unwilling to compromise once they experience a Glimpse of their project.”
Your visual partner
I’m a business-minded creative technologist changing how the building industry sells. I trained in finance, then spent a decade building brand strategy and identity for venture-backed tech startups, so every image I make answers one question: will this Glimpse help your business? I lead strategy and production myself, so you work with one person from first call to final files. Everything is made in my studio in San Luis Obispo, California — no handoffs, no overseas back-and-forth.
How we’ll work together.
Send the model.
We talk through who needs to see the images, what they need to communicate, and your deadline.
Lock the views.
I send camera options; you pick the views. Then you get a quote.
Draft, refine, deliver.
You review drafts, we refine the details, and I deliver finals ready for your presentation, listing, or print.
What you need to get started.
What do you need from me?
A 3D model (SketchUp, Revit, or Archicad), current drawings, and material selections. No model yet? Send what you have and I’ll take it from there.
My client can’t read the drawings. Can you help?
That’s the job. A Glimpse of the kitchen or the arrival ends design debates that a plan set can’t. Clients stop questioning and start deciding.
Can you handle the whole launch?
Yes. Launch strategy comes first: who the buyer is, what they need to see, and in what order. Then the Glimpses, and the material around them: social cuts, brochures, listing pages, signage, investor decks, and the project’s name and mark, so the launch reads as one project.
Can the design still be moving?
Yes. Materials, landscape, and styling stay open, and that exploration is scoped up front. Massing needs to be locked.
Will the images match what we’re building?
Yes. They’re built from your model, drawings, and material selections, accurate to the spec — the commission and the buyer see what you’ll actually build.
How do quotes work?
Per image, quoted as a set with options, based on what the images need to do and how many views that takes. I review the model first; numbers happen on the call.
How fast?
Small sets of stills move in weeks, not months. Film and larger sets are scheduled in batches. Give me your client presentation, hearing, or launch date early and I’ll lock a schedule to it before you commit.
What can I use the images for?
Marketing, portfolio, submittals, presentations, listings, press. Finals are yours once the project is paid.
Will it stay confidential until we launch?
Yes. Nothing is published before you or your client go public, and never without your sign-off on timing. NDAs welcome.
Do you work outside California?
Yes. The work runs on your model and a few calls. On the Central Coast I’m on site in person. For larger projects elsewhere, I come to you — a site visit and drone footage to capture the real context. Otherwise I work from your site photos and survey.
Let’s talk about your project.
Book a call and tell me about the project, who needs to see it, and your deadline. I’ll come back with camera options and a quote. You pick the views; I handle the rest.
