Architectural 3D Rendering | 3D Modeling | 3D Animation | 3D Design
Hey 👋 I’m Leslie. I work with architects, builders and developers who need more than a pretty render. I turn architectural ideas into visuals that help clients understand the design, get projects approved and sell the vision before it’s built. I’ve worked with clients across several countries through Upwork, with a significant part of my experience coming from North American residential projects. I’ve also had the opportunity to build long-term working relationships with companies like Black Oak Builders. WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME 🤝 You already have the design. I help turn it into something people can understand, approve and get excited about. 📐 I understand the architecture, not just the software. With a background in architecture and 5+ years in architectural visualization, I understand drawings, proportions, materials and design intent. This helps me create visuals that are both architecturally accurate and visually convincing. 🧩 I can work from what you already have. Whether you’re starting with architectural drawings, DWGs, PDFs, a SketchUp model, references or an early concept, I can take the project from there rather than requiring a perfectly finished 3D scene. 🎯 I focus on what the visualization needs to achieve. Whether the goal is client approval, design communication, a presentation or pre-construction marketing, I approach the imagery around the purpose of the project, not just the render itself. 🔄 I keep the process efficient. I don’t believe in rushing good work, but I do believe in keeping a project moving. Clear communication, organized revisions and realistic timelines help avoid unnecessary delays while maintaining the quality of the final images. 🤝 I’m looking to become a long-term visualization partner. Many of my projects have come through repeat clients and ongoing collaborations. My goal isn’t simply to deliver an architectural render and disappear, but to become someone you can rely on for the next project too. HOW I CAN HELP 📐 🏠 Architectural Visualization * Photorealistic exterior rendering * Interior rendering * Residential architectural visualization * New-build and renovation visualization * Development visualization * Material and design studies * Client presentation imagery 📐 3D Modeling & Production * SketchUp modeling * 3ds Max modeling * Architectural 3D modeling * Model development from DWG/PDF drawings * Materials and texturing * Look development * Scene preparation 🎬 Marketing & Presentation * Pre-construction marketing imagery * Real estate visualization * Virtual staging * Architectural animations * Walkthroughs * Multiple views and consistent image sets HOW I WORK 📐 I can start with whatever stage your project is currently at, whether that’s architectural drawings, a SketchUp model, material references or an early concept. Plans / DWG / PDF / SketchUp → 3D modeling & architectural development → Materials & texturing → Lighting & composition → Corona Renderer / V-Ray → Photoshop post-production → Final presentation & marketing imagery Throughout the process, I focus on architectural accuracy, clear communication, consistency across images and keeping the project moving toward the deadline. EXPERIENCE 🤝 I’ve been working in architectural visualization for 5+ years, with 40+ completed projects for clients across several countries through Upwork. A significant part of my experience has been with North American residential projects, and I’ve had the opportunity to build long-term working relationships with companies such as Black Oak Builders. My background in architecture also means I understand the design and construction logic behind the images I create, not just the visualization software.
