Mike Brightman worked as a professional architectural designer before founding Brightman Designs, a Colorado design and visualization firm, in 2006.

A national speaker, Mike has provided hundreds of hours of free learning to thousands of SketchUp users. Mike has also published multiple books on SketchUp, including the 2nd edition of The SketchUp Workflow for Architecture: Modeling Buildings, Visualizing Design, and Creating Construction Documents with SketchUp Pro and LayOut, from Wiley Publishing.

After producing complex designs and visualizations exclusively in SketchUp Pro for more than a decade, Mike has condensed what he learned into a practical, actionable SketchUp course (www.sketchupworkflow.com) and the ConDoc Tools extension to automate construction documents (www.condoctools.com).
