About Sergio
Architect and Designer with specialized expertise in reality capture and digital reconstruction technologies. Practicing architect (Master's degree, 15+ years) with international experience in Hong Kong and London studios, currently working as a CPO of a startup based around reality capturing. 8 years teaching individuals, groups, and corporate teams both online and in-person. My expertise spans advanced reality capture workflows for architecture, heritage documentation, site analysis, and contextual design integration, combining traditional surveying methods with cutting-edge digital reconstruction techniques. Specialized in photogrammetry and emerging Gaussian splatting technologies for creating precise 3D models from real-world environments. I bring real-world project experience to every lesson, from field capture planning to production-ready digital assets.

Three Ways to Start Your Reality Capture Journey:
1. Personalized Consultation - We'll assess your skills, review your projects, and create a custom learning roadmap. Full credit toward any package.
2. Free Assessment - Complete a detailed form and receive your personalized roadmap without a meeting. Message me to request the form.
3. Direct Project Support - Have a deadline? Skip introductions and dive straight into your project.
What Makes My Teaching Different:
After our initial consultation or form review, I'll recommend the best format for your goals and create a personalized roadmap.
Unlike one-size-fits-all courses, I adapt to YOUR needs - from structured lessons to project collaboration.

Universal Application Across Design Fields:
This comprehensive reality capture approach can be applied broadly across any design field, regardless of scale or object of design - from landscape design and architecture to smaller-scale applications including industrial design and even purely CG applications (realized through digital scanning). I have extensive experience applying these methods across all design industries, ensuring you learn techniques that transcend traditional field boundaries.
Flexible Learning Formats:
Based on your needs assessment, I'll recommend one of these proven formats:
Mastering - Traditional live instruction where I guide you through concepts and techniques in real-time. Perfect for those who learn best through direct interaction and immediate feedback.
Inverted Class Mastering - You study theory at your own pace using my curated materials, then we use live sessions exclusively for hands-on practice and answering your specific questions. Ideal for self-motivated learners.
Project Assistance - I guide you through your actual projects with verbal and visual instructions, sometimes taking control to demonstrate techniques. Great for learning while making real progress on your work.
Project Curation - Beyond teaching, I help strategize your project workflow, set milestones, and ensure you meet deadlines. Perfect for professionals juggling learning with client work.
Project Job - I work on portions of your project independently between sessions, maximizing your learning while maintaining project momentum. Ideal for tight deadlines.
My Commitment:
Every student receives the same dedicated attention and support. Whether you're taking a single session or a full package, you'll get my full expertise and commitment to your success.
Continuous Support:
Between lessons, you'll have access to curated resources, video recordings of key techniques, and support for quick questions. Join optional masterminds with fellow students facing similar challenges - learn from each other's projects and solutions.

I'm happy to recommend Sergio as an outstanding SketchUp instructor. I took several sessions with him last year when I was struggling with complex modeling for my architecture projects, and his teaching completely transformed my approach to the software.
What impressed me most about Sergio was how he adapted his teaching style to each student. Instead of following some generic course outline, he assessed my specific needs and created a personalized learning path that focused exactly on what I needed to learn. His background as a practicing architect with over 15 years of experiance really showed in his lessons because he understood not just how to use the tools, but why you'd use them in real world projects.
Sergio didn't just teach you to click buttons. He helped me understand the logic behind efficient modeling workflows and how to integrate SketchUp with rendering engines like V-Ray and Enscape. The examples he showed from his 150+ student projects gave me a clear picture of what was possible and motivated me to push my own work further.
Between sessions, he provided excellent support through WhatsApp and shared custom resources that were way more usefull than anything I found online. Even months later, I still reference the techniques he tought me. His teaching went beyond software skills and really developed your design thinking process.
If you were looking to master SketchUp for professional work, I couldn't recommend Sergio highly enough. He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in seeing his students succeed.I found Sergio through a freelance tutoring platform when I was transitioning into industrial design from graphic design. I needed to build my 3D modeling and prototyping skills quickly for a career change. We worked together for about 4 months through his comprehensive curriculum.
Sergio has this amazing ability to assess exactly where you are and create a completely personalized learning path. He started me with his free consultation, identified my strengths in 2D work, and recommended the "Inverted Class Mastering" format that perfectly suited my learning style. What impressed me most was how he seamlessly integrated theory with hands-on practice - I'd study Rhino fundamentals on my own, then our live sessions were purely focused on tackling complex NURBS modeling challenges I was facing.
Sergio transformed my design capabilities in ways I didn't think possible. His curriculum covers everything from analog sketching to advanced KeyShot rendering, but it's his adaptive teaching approach that sets him apart. When I hit a roadblock with polymer modeling techniques, he immediately shifted to visual demonstrations and even worked on portions of my project to show me advanced methods. The WhatsApp support between sessions was invaluable, and the optional masterminds with other students created this incredible learning community. Anyone looking to master industrial design tools while actually building their portfolio will find Sergio's approach revolutionary.View more recommendations
