Sketch With Confidence
Somewhere along your career, you either never learned perspective well enough to sketch in 3D, or you’ve avoided it entirely because you’re embarrassed by how your sketches look so you turned to computer aided programs to mask it.
But here’s the thing: sketching is at the very heart of the interior design process. Learning just one simple hand skill—sketching—can transform your confidence and make you feel like the professional interior designer you’ve always aspired to be.
Think back to the designers from way back when—the ones who sketched effortlessly, wowing everyone with their talent and creativity.
Remember them? That could be you.
All it takes is learning the key component to sketching, perspective.
AN IMAGE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS...
Sketch In Front Of Clients
For many interior designers, sketching in front of clients can feel intimidating. You might worry that your sketches won’t look professional or that they’ll come across more like something a 4-year-old would draw than a clear design idea. But here’s the truth: sketching for interior design isn’t about creating perfect art—it’s about quickly generating ideas to solve design challenges and communicate solutions.
Clients don’t care if your sketches are picture-perfect; they just want to see your ideas come to life. Sketching in the moment allows you to communicate instantly, eliminating the need for multiple computer revisions and extra billable hours. It’s a straightforward, effective way to share your vision without the back-and-forth delays.
With sketching skills, you can streamline the entire design process while earning your client’s trust in your abilities and creativity. They’ll see you as a professional who can guide them through the project with confidence and expertise.
Making you an invaluable part of their design journey.
ULTIMATELY you can...
Sketch The Way You Design
As an interior designer, relying solely on computer programs or AI tools can feel limiting. These tools, while helpful, often box you into preset options that don’t fully capture your unique vision. You may feel like your designs are constrained by what the software allows, rather than reflecting your creativity and personal style.
Sketching by hand gives you the freedom to design in a way that feels authentic to you. It’s not about competing with technology—it’s about reclaiming your creative process. When you sketch, you’re not tied to limited templates or pre-set options. Instead, you can bring your ideas to life exactly as you imagine them, unrestricted by software limitations.
Being able to sketch the way YOU design allows your creativity to shine through. It gives you the flexibility to explore and communicate ideas more freely, and clients will appreciate the personal touch and originality in your work. It shows them that your designs are truly one-of-a-kind.
Built from your expertise and creative vision.
Sketching and interior design go together like peas and carrots—they’re a natural match.
I fell into the same trap—letting sketching slip out of my design process, let alone sketching in front of clients.
Did you know..
In a poll of over 400 design participants in the United States, the overwhelming majority (86 percent) believe that quick 3D sketches can lend credibility to a designer when sketches are created in the presence of clients.

This is Your Invitation to Be a Creative Again And Show Your Clients What Your Made Of
By now, you’re probably thinking,
Trust me, that’s COMPLETELY NORMAL. Judging your own work is part of the process—but the good news is, there’s a solution.
- I’ve taught 1000's of interior designers at workshops who started out not even knowing how to sketch a simple line and walked away sketching with confidence in less than 1 hour.
- Over the past 7 years, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering perspective drawing and the rules that bring it to life. Today, I teach 1000's of students how to use these skills to create sketches specifically for interior design.
- I’ve sold 100's of my own design ideas using sketches alone, and that number continues to grow every day.

The Sketch Masterclass
What's Included In The Course
The Core
The Sketch Lessons
You avoid sketching because you don’t like how it looks, and drawing in 3D feels impossible because perspective has always been a challenge. It’s frustrating and can hold you back from fully expressing your design ideas.
Perspective doesn’t have to be intimidating. When it’s broken down the right way, it’s not just manageable—it can even be fun to learn. With simple steps, you can quickly grasp the fundamentals and feel confident sketching in perspective.
Once you’ve learned perspective, you’ll be able to sketch furniture, rooms, or anything you need in 3D for your interior design projects. Your ideas will flow clearly and professionally, helping you creative with confidence.
THE CHALLENGE
Sketching With Markers
Sketching with markers can feel intimidating—it’s hard to get your ideas across in color without making mistakes or feeling unsure about the results.
With a simple, step-by-step process, you can learn how to sketch with markers effectively, making it easy to add depth, color, and vibrancy to your designs.
Once you’ve got the hang of it, you’ll be sketching with markers all the time, adding color and attention-grabbing details that bring your design ideas to life and leave a lasting impression.
THE BONUS
Sketch Like A Pro
Time is tight, and learning to sketch quickly feels overwhelming. Searching for real-life sketch scenarios you’ll actually use is frustrating and time-consuming—most tutorials on YouTube miss the mark.
That’s why we’ve included a bonus section with real-world sketch scenarios tailored for interior designers. You’ll be able to watch, learn, and apply the techniques immediately in your design work.
With these practical examples, sketching becomes your newest go-to tool. You’ll use it confidently, stand out in your projects, and impress clients with your polished, professional approach—standing out in your field.
