WHO AM I:
I am an interior designer based in Vancouver, Canada. I make videos about interior design, career advice, portfolio tips and ways to upscale your interior design skills.

​Andrea, it would be great if you make a series for modeling in sketchup, as well as rendering, it would be of immense help to beginners like me!

[@aandreatru]

I am going to make more of these videos yes :)

[@akboparai]

Hi, for someone who is a beginner to sketchup this is so helpful! Thank you so much ❤

[@aandreatru]

You're so welcome! :) happy to help

[@AmalekMazin]

Can I ask a quick question? Can the interior designer design the exterior section (facade) of the building? Thx ✨

[@aandreatru]

Yes, some of them do. Some others work with Architects for the exterior.

[@AryanRanade2]

After watching the whole video I can surely say this is the most informative and precise introductory video for interior designers for sketchup on youtube.

[@aandreatru]

Thank you!!!!🤩

Hi I know this video is old that it seems that you haven’t posted for a while. Any suggestions of course that you can start as a complete beginner who doesn’t know anything about interior design at all? I am trying to find some courses but idk where to start and which course to take, online. Thank you

[@SunnyHeartKay]

Interior designers do so much more than people think. I hear the industry is working toward changing the title to "interior architect" and I hope they do. This title more accurately reflects what designers actually do. My annoying ex was a carpenter and he said designers only pick out colors on several occasions. The funny thing is when I decided to begin studying design I had him bring me the binder that designers put together for each and every bathroom and kitchen remodel so I would know what I needed to learn. This binder contained EVERYTHING that all the contractors, plumbers, electricians and project managers needed to know for the remodel. Complete with floorpans, finish boards, and literal instructions for how to do their jobs. The crew would literally need the binder to do everything and would even wait to start a project until they had their turn with the binder! When anything went wrong who do they call? The designer!! I asked my ex how he can look at this binder EVERY SINGLE DAY for his entire career and say that designers only pick out colors? He had no answer and tried to laugh it off. For a few minutes I was full of so much rage I almost cried because I realized it was nothing but misogyny and he resented a woman for literally having to set the blue print for him to do his job. Hence reason #97 why he is my ex.

[@aandreatru]

Wow, thanks for sharing! I totally agree with you, not everyone knows and values the job of interior designers unfortunately :( some people think we only choose cushions and colors. I hope there is an increasing awareness of our careers and people know how complex it actually is. Cheers✨

[@AryanRanade2]

Hi, Andrea, your sketch up videos are very helpful, interesting and unlike other channels where they teach in general your sketchup for interior designers is straight to the point.

[@aandreatru]

Thank you❤❤ I’m glad it’s helpful

[@tealkerberus748]

If you're shift-clicking a whole lot of objects and you get something you didn't want, you don't need to start again. Just shift-click that object a second time to deselect it.

[@JustPHT]

Also, can we have a setup tour of your Productivity Desk Setup and how you get work done on it? :)

[@oks3889]

hii, could you make a video about first steps on Photoshop? Love your work and how you explain interior design ❤

[@aandreatru]

Sure, I normally use photoshop to render floor plans so I can make a video about that

[@AryanRanade2]

​if you could make a series for rendering extensions like vray and Enscape it would be just Great!

[@aandreatru]

Yeah I’ve been getting requests on enscape, I know enscape better than vray but I can make some rendering tutorials for sue

[@Ukundahome]

I just found your channel recently btw and been bing watching. What's your fav. Interior Design program? Sketchup? AutoCAD etc , also to add on someones request above ..Photoshop Tutorial yes please

[@aandreatru]

Welcome aboard! My favorite is sketchup and enscape, i also like autocad but it’s not as fun as sketchup :) sure I will prepare a PS tutorial

[@mahasiddiqui6846]

OH MY GOD!!!!These videos are gonna help me so much, as a student who's still in high school, I would love to practice at home in my free time as this is ideal for it.💖💖💖💖

[@aandreatru]

Hope you like them✨✨😊

[@JustPHT]

Really enjoyed this entire walkthrough from Basics of the plan. Could you please make a video of 3DSmax like this?

[@aandreatru]

I have never used 3ds max :( but I want to learn it so bad!

[@rithikachendi5093]

Ahh, I just got the time to watch this and I just finished watching it. Honestly, tagging everything into different categories is such a great idea! They didn't teach us this at school. Thank you, Andrea! Your videos are always resourceful!

[@aandreatru]

I am glad you found it useful ! 😊😊 yes, some tricks I found after using sketchup for 6 years now, not everything can be learned at school.

[@aicx40]

Thanks Andrea. As a beginner, this is very informative. Good tips!

[@aandreatru]

Glad to hear that!

[@DaliaAdam-d3l]

can you teach us how to take good shots and set our v ray setting

[@preetha_s06]

Need a tutorial video about lightings,renderings in sketchup vray

[@aandreatru]

Oh I haven’t used vray in a looong time so I need to use it again to make a tutorial about it :)

[@khalil-b]

Hi , Andrea, i have a question can i study interior design in canada with deploma program of 1.5 or 2 years ??

[@aandreatru]

Yes, some diploma programs are one year and some others are 2 years, there are also programs that are part-time so you can take it at your own pace

[@khalil-b]

@@aandreatru thank you soo mush ❤️

[@mahasiddiqui6846]

And I recommend that you should play the game hotel renovator. I've seen so many videos of interior designers playing that game as it really helps you to design the hotel rooms according to the different themes and choices, and u should definitely make a video of urself playing it

[@aandreatru]

Oh never heard of it🤔🤔 ok thanks for sharing

[@mahasiddiqui6846]

@@aandreatru It's really popular these days, u should definitely try it out

[@nanadiycorner]

This video was helpful! I would love to see more of these workflows where you just do your thing and explain what you do as you go just like you did here 😊🙏🏻
