Diane @ DJSquireDesigns
Diane, at DJSquire Designs, located in Ojai California, offers global 2D, 2D-3D Hybrid, 3D and Site Plan Services, which is a culmination of over 33-years working on more conventional computer imaging design projects. In addition, sold Depiction Imaging Design Software (now GreenScapes) to landscape architects & contractors, architects, and building designers, along with working with paver and decorative concrete manufacturers, then finally trying to help out a few early adopter interior designers (back when the interior design software was non-existent).
Thankfully, television programming on HGTV changed homeowner’s and contractor’s perceptions for using design software to illustrate potential interior and exterior changes.
Up until the advent of Houzz.com — and their wonderful public and private Ideabooks feature which is an excellent design idea communication tool for homeowners — the design services offered were used by contractors and not typically or directly working with homeowners, except for very rare occasions.
That has significantly changed for those lucky few homeowners who actually do find DJSquireDesigns on Houzz or online.
The main focused niche has been, and still is, assisting as back-up design talent for landscape and hardscape contractors, who are often far too busy to have extra time to learn new software or computerized design aids even though it can significantly help them sell their local area construction services.
Most (not all) contractors prefer to be outside — building — rather than inside messing with computers.
(It is well known in the industry.)
In addition, and in the past, spent several years concentrated on creating AutoCAD working drawings for both home remodeling and new construction projects — developing site plans, elevations, section plans, details, etc., (in other words “the blueprints”). Also spent way too many impatient hours waiting, and waiting, in various City Planning Departments during plan check submissions and their lengthy construction document approval process.
Basically… been there… done that… got the T-shirt.
The upshot?
Vastly prefer coming up with comprehensive 2D imaging and 3D modeling & animation designs (in essence making “pretty” pictures) to help contractor’s conceptualize client’s dreams and homeowner’s visualize their outdoor living wish & want lists.
Far more satisfying.
