Upskilling + Education
Having lectured at the Graduate and Undergraduate level at University of Hawai’i at Mānoa’s Landscape Architecture Program, co-founded an international youth sustainability and exchange program, and delivered professional trainings to architects, landscape architects and interior designers, I am well qualified to support many types of learning environments and goals.
Training + Teaching
With my 15+ years of educational experience across sectors, I have built up a style of teaching that focuses on creating a positive and supportive learning environment for my participants.
Trainings include:
- Lumion
- Enscape 3D: Revit + SketchUp
- Unreal Engine for ArchVis
- Digital Lighting Theory + Practice
- Digital Vegetation for Visualisation
- Physically Based Rendering and Materials
Work:
In addition to delivering the trainings listed above I have also taught the following courses and supported the first Masters of Landscape Architecture program in the US State of Hawai’i
- ARCH 633 – Computer Applications for Landscape Architecture
- ARCH 490 – Emerging Technologies for Designers
- ARCH 651 – Fundamentals of Landscape Design Studio
- ARCH 682 – Building Well-Being: Health and the Built Environment
- ARCH 696 – Professional Digital Design and Communication Tools
New Software Adoption Support
Looking to expand your frim’s software capabilities? I can support the transition and provide tailored training for staff to ensure the highest return on the software investment and support staff capabilities.
Deliverables include:
- Current + Upcoming Software Capabilities Comparisons
- Advice on Workflow Integration
- Workflow Support
- Training and Documentation
Work:
With the constant changes in software capabilities, it is important to both have a long term plan but remain nimble. I have helped my clients to create a 5 year software transition and adoption roadmap to improve rendering quality while building staff skill.
Design Technology Upskilling
While development time is focused on delivering a project, the behind-the-scenes work of creating templates, workflows, training, and tools is important to ensure a quick turnaround and iteration process for designs.
I have created over 30+ hours of training material to support new hires and long term team members to upskill at their own pace. I have also delivered live one-on-one trainings to support key staff.
Deliverables include:
- Skills Surveys and Training Goals
- Multiple Software Trainings
- Design Process and Iteration Support
Live + Recorded Training Series
Deliverables include:
- Recorded Training Series
- Live Trainings + Workshops
- One-to-One Instruction
Work:
For my past clients I have devliered 30+ hours of recorded trainings on various topics including an entire series on TwinMotion, showing a project from start to finish.
Software/AI + Transition Planning
The adoption of new tools is only as strong as the users knowledge of how to use them. By providing detailed timelines and training schedules I can ensure an efficient integration of AI and other tools so that teams can hit the ground running. This speeds up the return on investment in new tools and technology while providing a framework for the rollout.
Deliverables include:
- Current workflow + skill base assessments
- Software recommendations, cost estimates, and adoption timelines
- Detailed comparisons between different options
- Coordination with IT for troubleshooting
- Ongoing support + training
Detailed Documentation
Deliverables include:
- Easy-to-read PDF documentation
- Recorded trainings for easy reference.
- Curated online resources
