DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • You've spent HOURS looking at tutorials online trying to find the help you need?

  • You've started a model in SketchUp and gotten stuck on some detail you didn't know how to create?

  • You've needed to start working on a project and didn't know how to approach it...

  • You've been overwhelmed by the amount of SketchUp information on the internet and just want someone to tell you EXACTLY where to go and what to do?

If it does, then you already know how hard it can be to find SketchUp training tailored to YOUR needs!

That's Why I Built This Community!

Here's the typical process I see people go through when they try to learn SketchUp - 

  • They download the program and create some simple shapes

  • They follow some beginner tutorials they find online to get started

  • They start modeling their more complex projects

  • Something doesn't work the way it's supposed to

  • They waste HOURS trying to find a solution online

 

Thankfully...There's an easier way!

Meet Justin Geis

I'm Justin Geis - also known as "The SketchUp Youtube Guy," and I'll be your instructor in the SketchUp Essentials Community!

I've spent years teaching people to use SketchUp on my YouTube Channel, as well as on my website, The SketchUp Essentials!

I've been using SketchUp for over 10 years now, both as a general contractor AND as a SketchUp instructor. 

I have a real passion for helping people learn to use SketchUp, and wanted to create a training resource where people could go to achieve fantastic results in SketchUp. 

I seriously enjoy creating content and supporting people in their journey to make SketchUp work for them, and I created The SketchUp Essentials Community because I truly believe that it's the best way to make SketchUp work for you!

The good looking dog next to me is Bonnie - she's my hiking and adventuring buddy who'd like you to know that while she won't be helping with SketchUp...she's still awesome ;p
