ABOUT CINDY
Hi, I’m Cindy. I’m glad you’re here.
I'm an interior designer turned 3D rendering specialist, based on the west coast of Canada just outside Vancouver, BC.
I work exclusively with interior design professionals across Canada and the USA, turning your specs into renders your clients can say yes to.

FEATURED IN
Over six years in, still completely obsessed.
Before rendering, I'd been designing in software that made everything look cartoony, with furniture models that looked like they were straight from a 2000 IKEA catalogue. The rendering software I moved to got me closer, but close was never what I was after. Not quite the right sofa, not quite the right profile on the moulding.
It wasn't until I learned to build my own models and got serious about lighting that everything clicked. People stopped trying to picture it and started asking when we could start.
That was the turn. Up until then, I'd been running a local design business and taking on virtual design assistant work alongside it. Rendering quickly became the thing I wanted to do most, so I closed the design side and went all in. Today, visuals are all I do: renderings, floor plans, elevations and custom models, made exclusively for interior design professionals, from solo designers to large firms.
I've also had the privilege of teaching rendering to other design professionals, in group classes and one-on-one.
I've rendered projects for designers in California, New York, Utah, Virginia, Ontario and beyond, often for clients approving six-figure renovations.
The feedback I hear most is that the quality exceeded expectations, that I communicate clearly and quickly, and that working with me feels easy. That last part is very intentional.
Design has been part of who I am for as long as I can remember.
When I was four, I drew a three-foot-tall cat on our living room wall. My mom immediately painted over my masterpiece. I’m still holding a grudge.
It didn't slow me down. I was always decorating or building something: furniture and dollhouses out of whatever I could get my hands on, and in the wintertime, fully furnished living room sets made of snow. I was designing spaces before I had words for what I was doing.
Years later, I was finally vindicated: the walls were officially mine. My first real job was painting and wallpapering the entire interior of my family's home, and this time I was getting paid for it. I had complete control of picking out everything. Yes, including wall stencilling. It was the 90s, and I stand by it.
Today I bring an Interior Design diploma, a Maria Killam True Colour Expert certification, and years of hands-on decorating and renovation work to every render. My toolkit includes D5 Render, SketchUp, Chief Architect, Coohom, and Photoshop, and I've spent years learning each one properly. That depth shows up in the work.
WHAT DRIVES THE WORK
The things I genuinely love about 3D rendering.
-
The technical craft
Getting deeply detailed with models, textures, and lighting until everything is exactly right. It's like a puzzle and I find that genuinely satisfying every single time.
-
Setting up the shot
I approach every render like a photography shoot. I like to think about the angle, the light source, what's in frame and what isn't. That attention to composition is what makes a render feel real rather than generated.
-
The moment it lands
Hearing that a designer's client loved the renders. That the images did their job and helped win the project. That's the moment that makes all the technical work worth it!

"Cindy, once again your renderings are absolutely stunning! I appreciate you for your excellent rendering skills but just as importantly for your communication style. Both are vital strengths when working together as a team. You clearly outline your process, what I need to provide you and regularly send me updates.
You offer a way that I can show clients my vision for their home and that's a huge gift! Thank you, thank you."

She is top notch with communication and she completed our rendering within the exact time frame she said she would....and she was so responsive whenever we had a question or asked for a small revision.

“Cindy was very easy to work with to build my floor plans in the Mydoma Visualizer based on the selections and CAD drawings I provided her. She utilized SketchUp to add more elements to the design to make it look accurate. I recommend Cindy to all my designer friends to help with their VA projects!”
