BIO

ABOUT ME

I am located in the beautiful island of Barbados. Since 2007, Ive been the sole proprietor and representative of Sketchway Studios. I have accumalated vast experience in areas of Design and Visualization. As a draughtsman / designer, I give my clients a smooth and communicative relationship while offering a range of design services in the areas of home design & house plans, 3d Visualization and web|app development. My services cater to both local and international customers.

PRINCIPALS

What I believe:

Unique Design: I consider each project to be unique to my clients. Each design I produce is based specifically on thier requirements.

Interpretation: I've often been approached by customers seeking to have thier ideas put to paper / screen. Whether it be a sketch / write up or a simple idea, I use what is provided to properly interpret into digital format (images/video)/p>

Communication: Frequent updates through digital communication methods is at the heart of each project I take on. I believe in keeping clients involved at every phase of thier project by providing visually expressive updates through email, video conference or mobile messaging.

Punctuality: I will never take on a project unless I can meet a customers deadline, and if I do, then I make sure that my communication and interpretation principals are kept in order to be as punctual as possible

WORK PROCESS

REVIEW
DELIVERY

Initial meeting for the gathering of project data. This phase consists of assembling the basic data (ideas/sketches/media) and organizing the information gathered in a format that will be followed throughout the project. Cost estimates are given.

The data gathered from the first phase is digitized through the appropriate medium (house plans - AutoCad, Sketchup, Unity3d). Draft updates (images / video) are alternatively sent through the preferred communication method (usually email / whatsapp).

After the drafts are completed, an alternative second meeting is arranged to confirm the drafts and tie up any odds and ends. Once confirmed the finals are produced in the requested format (hardcopies / pdf / images / video).

By this point the finals has been established and now sent to the preferred delivery method. (In the case of building application, the neccessary documents are filled and taken into building authorities for processing.)
