    About Johnny L.

    Are you interested in learning about how to design buildings? Interested in learning how to produce construction drawings and 3 dimensional digital models using architectural software? Or maybe you just want to figure out how to digitally model for a 3D printer? Or possibly you want to create an environment that you can experience in VR with your oculus goggles? Hello! My name is John and I have been working in the architectural field since 2010. My day job consists of designing and master planning schools; I also have professional experience designing skyscrapers, homes, and much more! I grew up in Southern California, graduated with my Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Oregon in 2015, and now live in beautiful Sacramento. Through time in my career and in college, I have been privileged to earn multiple awards for both my studies and architectural projects + designs. I also spend time volunteering within my communities through events and organizations; some of these include Green Apple Day of Service, tutoring for Project Understanding, designing Parklets for ASLA's Parking Day, and much more! Programs I can teach: - Revit - AutoCAD - Rhino - Google SketchUp - Lumion - Adobe Photoshop - Adobe Illustrator - Adobe InDesign Thank you for visiting. I am excited to share my knowledge of the world of architecture and design with you!
