About Us
Vividus is a creative visualization agency specializing in the lifelike representation of unbuilt Architecture. With an experienced team from around the globe, we take pride in our diverse backgrounds and skill sets, using those to bring a distinct style and character to our work.
Mission
Architecture is inherently experiential – so whether through an expression of light, texture, composition or just a flat out feeling, our goal is to inform, but also connect with you and your audience in some way, large or small.
From single family homes to master planned communities, low rise charm to soaring towers, intimate streetscapes to stadiums and more, we bring your project of any size to life – through memorable still renderings, engaging video and animations, as well as interactive and immersive 3D real time experiences.
Want to experience the future? Leave it to us.
Team
A strong diverse team of varied backgrounds, knowledge and skill sets.

Principal
A multidisciplinary designer with a penchant for solving problems vs creating them, his varied skill set and interests have led to a breadth of work across multiple disciplines and continents. With a foundation in engineering and a degree in Industrial Design, his career began designing products and interiors in New York and Japan, only to discover more so than designing the product itself, it was visualizing and telling the story of the design that really captivated his interest.
With that in mind he quickly shifted focus and in 2007 moved home to Vancouver and became Vividus’ inaugural member, helping build the studio from the ground up and to this day continues to grow and learn alongside a skilled and diverse team.
He has also spearheaded and is Creative Director for Vividus' sister company Tiny Vikings - which specializes in Motion Graphics and Visual Effects for Commercials, TV and film.
