About me

Hi! I'm Steven

I became an architect because I loved designing buildings. Somewhere along the way, I realized I was even more obsessed with how those ideas were communicated.

A great project can go completely unnoticed if it's presented poorly, and an average one can suddenly become compelling with the right drawings, renders, and story.

That curiosity turned into Show it Better back in 2016. At first it was just a place to share things I was learning. I never imagined it would grow into a community of architects from all over the world, or that I'd end up teaching workshops, speaking at events, and working with companies whose software I used as a student.

The Journey

Looking back, it's honestly surreal.

I've had the chance to teach workshops, speak at conferences, collaborate with companies whose software I used long before they knew I existed, and meet architects from all over the world.

The coolest part, though, is hearing from people who landed a job, won a competition, or finally felt proud of their portfolio after watching a video or using one of our resources. That's still the part that means the most to me.

Good architecture deserves good communication.

I'm still an architect first. I still spend way too much time trying new workflows, comparing software, reading about representation, and figuring out how to make drawings a little clearer than they were yesterday.

Almost everything I create starts the same way: I find something that genuinely makes me think, "I wish someone had explained this when I was learning." Then I make the video, the resource, or the course I wish I had back then.
