DESIGN PROCESS & PRESENTATION VISUALS

Our core business has always been design support. Every member of the AJSNY team has an educational background in architecture in addition to specialized CG training. Our clients in the design disciplines turn to us for help in communicating their vision clearly -- often under crushing deadline pressure. Our ability to speak their language and "fill in the blanks" when concepts are still evolving is what many appreciate even more than the final images or animation.
