Testimonials	ABOUT RAVENA Pre-Visualization has been my passion for years. I was raised in this environment, spending much of my early years working with my father at his nationwide architectural illustration firm Scheffer Studio. My professional work experience includes traditional architectural illustration as well as digital formats. Committed to my work, I keep up with the newest technological trends and utilize the latest equipment and software tools. I communicate clearly and collaborate well with each client, helping them develop solutions to their needs. I am a creative, dependable, detail and quality oriented, conscientious, independent worker as well as a flexible team member, adept at learning quickly.

Up until 2000 all my work had been done with a paintbrush, as in the samples displayed in the WATERCOLOR section of my portfolio. Many of my clients still feel this is the best solution for many projects for the mood that it carries.

I have also taken my artistic talents to the digital realm. Computer-generated renderings give your project that “I’m right there” look. As technology grows, many are finding it more and more feasible to produce virtual models of their projects. With success and sometimes frustration, development entices the imagination: “What could make this presentation even better?” I can help you figure that out.

My DIGITALrenderings and VIRTUAL TOURS are created with either Softimage, 3Ds Max, or Maya - programs often used in the movie industry and in advertising. Instead of simply being a predictable product generated by computer, these animations are enhanced as the computer becomes the artist’s tool, a rich addition to an already technologically advanced field.

My father, Jules Scheffer (founder of Scheffer Studio)is the source of my training and talent. He was well known for his Architectural Illustration work throughout the Midwest and Florida, as well as his illustrations of Sailboats and other yachts in the nautical field.
