Hey, architects and interior designers:

Are you overwhelmed by the lack of knowledge and limited resources when considering a transition to the iPad? With numerous apps to choose from, it can be daunting to find the right one. Trust me, I've been there.

Still relying on traditional tools? You're probably familiar with their tedious nature, inefficiencies, and limitations. Not being able to edit or correct your work can be frustrating.

Let's be real, one of the scariest things about sketching is the fear of messing up, especially if you're not as experienced. It's enough to make you doubt yourself and hold back from confidently expressing your ideas. And hey, who wants to deal with that kind of embarrassment, right? It can be a real creativity killer.

If you can relate to any of these frustrations, I have a solution for you!

My mission is to help you see what’s possible!

I want to help you level up to the next stage as a designer, so you can start seeing real results quickly. This curriculum is the clearest, simplest, most direct path to adopting a digital workflow encompassing sketching, rendering, and designing on the iPad.

The solution

Among the multitude of drawing apps, Morpholio Trace stands out for architects, interior designers, and landscape architects. With industry-specific tools like scale ruler, area calculator, and markup tools, it caters to your needs. From initial concepts to precise plans and construction site visits, Morpholio Trace enables you to save time, work efficiently, and have the flexibility to work from anywhere.

I figured it out so you don’t have to…

I was frustrated making minor changes to hand drawings, which turned into a tedious process of redrawing, rescanning, and stitching. Determined to simplify this traditional approach, I tried various tablets but found the ultimate solution with Apple's iPad and Pencil combo.

However, online tutorials for architects and interior designers were nowhere to be found. Undeterred, I developed my own workflow and strategies, refining them over time. Now, I can effortlessly iterate designs, instantly edit drawings without a computer or scanner, and create compelling visuals for client presentations, planning reviews, and marketing. The iPad has truly transformed my productivity and the joy of drawing.

Just imagine…

A world where your compelling drawings convince clients of your vision, you impress your peers with beautiful sketches without the fear of drawing, and you’re able to function remotely without relying on a traditional office environment.

What would that mean for your career and life? 

Hi, I am Henry!

I love the freedom of hand drawing and the feeling of being able to create something out of nothing. But I also know that in order to work faster, be more efficient with my time, and have the ability to work remotely, I need to make the transition to a digital workflow.

Drawing has always been my passion, and using the iPad feels like an extension of my pen and paper days. It's not about completely replacing traditional methods; it's about embracing new possibilities. The mind/hand/pencil/iPad flow is a direct way of thinking design, just as with paper but with all the advantages of digital aid.

 FAQs

  • The course is designed for the iPad and utilizes a workflow centered around Morpholio Trace.

    The only necessity is to have an iPad model that’s compatible with the Apple Pencil. (1st or 2nd generation).

  • This is best for beginner to intermediate level designers who are looking for a path to improve their skills, master their tools and process, and sharpen their workflow. You’ll pick up valuable lessons and techniques to help you grow and refine your digital drawing skills.

  • My master class specifically focuses on teaching a design workflow using the iPad and Procreate. Majority of the course is centered around technical features and workflow methods rather than improving existing drawing skills.

    I won't sugarcoat it - my course won't magically make you into a better sketcher overnight. But it can take away some of that stress and worry tied up with hand drawing. Many of my students have told me that becoming proficient in the digital process have encouraged them to draw more.

  • No! You will have lifetime access and access to any future updates that get added to the course as well.

  • There are 6 building blocks in the course with over 6 hours of streamed content. Each building block is broken into workflow, demonstration, and practice. You can watch, pause, and practice at your own pace.

  • I will be inside the course platform regularly to answer any questions you may have in the comment section. The additional private facebook community is another area to ask for help and advice from fellow students. Lastly, my monthly office hour is available when you need to ask me a question directly on Zoom.

  • Go ahead - go through the course, follow the steps, put in the work, and if you don’t love it in the first 60 days of your purchase, send me an email and I’ll refund you immediately. If you fail to attain your desired outcome upon completion of the course, I will personally meet with you 1-1 until your goals are met.

  • Send an email my way and I’ll be happy to provide you with a personalized response. I can be reached at support@henrygao.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

Now, let me be clear. This is not an overnight transformation course with unrealistic promises. I'm not a magician. I stumbled upon this new way of drawing when I realized it wasn't being taught online. I went through the struggle of learning it myself. The exciting result is a method and process that can be incorporated into your everyday workflow, whether you're an architect or an interior designer.
