“Our firm has worked with Ravena Scheffer’s studio for many years - every time we needed a top-quality professional rendering for our projects.  Working with her on the Immanuel Bible Church animation, it became clear that she has brought her incredible talent and years of experience into the animation media. The decision to incorporate an animation into this project was an inspiring one.  The design of the building, especially the interior, evolved as the animation was developed, and Ravena really became an integral part of our design team.  The end result was a visionary statement that was used to complete the development of the design and detailing, as well as to excite the congregation about the up-coming project.”

To whom it may concern,

Ravena Scheffer has been doing exceptional architectural renderings for me for over seven years.  Although I have never met her in person, I saw immediately through her work that she had a very special talent for capturing what architects are trying to achieve in their designs.  Her attention to architectural details is unsurpassed by any rendering artist I have worked with in the last 45 years, yet she blends those among soft edges and highlights so that they not only are accurate, but they contribute harmoniously to the whole.
Ravena’s computer skills are brilliant, having been developed to the point that they fully support her underlying composition and rendering talents, including 3D visualizations and walk-throughs.  That combination has enabled Ravena and I to work together very efficiently in digital format even though our offices are hundreds of miles apart.  I highly recommend Ravena for any architectural rendering work.
Sincerely,
C. Page Highfill, AIA Emeritus

Re: Ravena Scheffer Recommendation

To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept this letter as my formal recommendation for Ravena Scheffer, LLC. My company, EBA Ernest Bland Associates, P.C. has been in business for over 20 years. For over a decade, whenever we have needed quality renderings, EBA has worked exclusively with Ravena. She is considered by our office as an integral part of the EBA Design Team. She has shown excellence in not only her final product, but in supporting our design development through various stages of the design process. We have used her services for concept development as well as for full renderings of projects. I found her to consistently demonstrate a dedication to success. She manages her time well, works in group situations under strict deadlines, and recognizes the importance of a strong work ethic, persistence, and intellectual integrity. We have had several instances where Ravena has worked under limited time constraints to aid our success on deadlines in general and competitions in particular. Without her efficiency; we could not have reached our goal in the time allotted.

She has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized and reliable. Ravena can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. However, she is an excellent "team player.II She accomplishes these tasks with great initiative and always with a very positive attitude.
Her work is proudly displayed in our office, both watercolor and in computer generated format; both are excellent. These images capture not only the design and the architecture, but a dynamic expression of an environment and really serve to indicate her talent.

It is for these reasons that we highly recommend Ravena Scheffer, LLC for any task, large or small.

Sincerely,
Ernest Bland, RA, AlA, NCARB
