Expanding Boundaries
Whether it’s a simple sketch or a complex 3D model, I have always been committed to expanding the boundaries of what’s possible with SketchUp and LayOut, transforming mere ideas into tangible realities that exceed expectations. With over a decade of (part time) experience in creating and deploying my designs, my self-directed learning of SketchUp and LayOut has enabled me to bring designs, both simple and complex, to actuality.
“My creations are not just designed; they are engineered and sculpted with the finesse of the hand of an artist, ensuring that each curve, line, and texture tells a story.”
— Jonathan B. Stella
From the Physical to the Digital
My passion for creativity and expression extends beyond the digital as I am also an accomplished artist in traditional mediums such as charcoal and clay. Despite its popularity, when working in clay, I shun the wheel in favor of sculpting busts of my favorite philosophers, such as Locke, Hume, Rousseau, and Nietzsche. However, when working in charcoal, I favor capturing the contrasts of light and dark that beautifully render the subtle nuances of the female form.
“As a designer in several formats, my artwork extends from the physical touch of clay and charcoal to the digital strokes on the SketchUp canvas, capturing the essence of the aesthetic in every medium.”

Visually Captivating
My training as a mechanical engineer permeates my work, ensuring meticulous attention to detail, such that each project not only meets but surpasses the rigorous standards of functionality and precision. This technical prowess, combined with my innate artistic talents, has enabled me to explore and expand the capabilities of SketchUp and Layout, turning the simplest sketches and the most complex 3D models into tangible realities. The blend of technical skill and artistic instinct has allowed me to approach each project on which I’m involved with a unique perspective, ensuring that every design is not only functional and precise but also visually captivating.
