Speaking Events & Seminars - Vizx Design Studios
We speak at trade shows, open houses, dealer/supplier events, TV news segments, and contractor showcases across the country. We have dedicated our time and energy to teaching the industry the importance of having a well designed outdoor living space in homes and business. Outdoor Living Spaces are not new, but most people do not understand how important it is to create the right environment.
We speak on topics like home values, spatial separation, shade structures, plantings, picking the right materials, and furniture selection.
“When you know better, you do better.” Raising the awareness will, in return, increase the value of Outdoor Living Spaces.

How Our 5 Step Method Service Works
Step 1: Discovery & Lifestyle Assessment
We start by getting to know you. Through thoughtful conversations and a lifestyle questionnaire, we learn how you live, relax, and entertain. This step makes sure your future outdoor space reflects your habits, values, and vision.
Step 2: Site Analysis & Precision Mapping
We capture your property using LIDAR scanning, drone imagery, and elevation mapping. This advanced data ensures that your design fits your existing site with precision and sets the foundation for a smooth build process.
Step 3: Design Language & Mood Boards
We develop a cohesive design language through mood boards, inspiration palettes, and architectural context. This ensures material choices and features feel integrated with your home’s style, not like an afterthought.
Step 4: Conceptual 3D Design
Next, we bring your space to life with a fully rendered 3D walkthrough. You’ll experience layout, flow, and features virtually – including zones for cooking, lounging, or gathering – all before breaking ground.
Step 5: Budget Review & Project Planning
We finalize the design and review your investment level, timeline, and next steps. Whether we build the project or you use your own contractor, you’ll walk away with a plan designed to succeed.
