Who created this course?
The SketchUp Starter Course was created by Stéphanie Duinmaijer, founder of The Confident Designer.
Stéphanie is an interior designer and creative entrepreneur who specializes in helping interior stylists and designers turn their ideas into clear, professional 3D presentations.
Through her work with creatives across different countries, including freelancers and small studios, she consistently saw the same challenge:
Strong ideas that don’t translate clearly to clients.
Moodboards that don’t fully communicate the space
Sketches that leave too much open to interpretation
Concepts that require long explanations to be understood
This often leads to slower approvals, miscommunication, and lost confidence in presentations.
That’s exactly why this course was created.
A straightforward, practical way to help you present your ideas visually, so clients can understand them quickly, and you can communicate your work with more clarity and confidence.
