Studio

DIG is a creative visualization studio based in Los Angeles, CA. We develop, model, render, and present powerful images for our clients to use in project presentations, marketing materials, and public relations campaigns. Our illustrations vividly communicate concepts and designs for architects, interior designers, product designers, developers, and marketing and branding agencies. See full list of our services  here.

Philosophy, Inspiration and Process

Our passion and our work is advancing the art of visual communication to serve our clients’ needs. We remain inspired by the traditional art of design illustration and understand that successful images balance accurate design representation, visual storytelling, and a distinct mood to bring ideas and imagination to life. To achieve these goals, we use state-of-the-art computer tools. However, computer-generated 3D rendering is just one step in a process that refines each illustration as a standalone artwork. Experience has taught us that the best images not only represent a project with precision and accuracy, they also invite the viewer to enter the image and become an engaged participant in the project’s story. We approach every project individually and strive to create successful partner relationships with our clients. While we prefer to receive a 3D model of the project (in any format), we can also work with other information that describes the design intent. Learn more
