#visual aids

Starting a new build today: fictional Spanish Colonial Revival home set in Los Feliz’s gated Laughlin Park in Los Angeles.

This one is special to me because it’s both a build & a visual aid for a writing project I’ve been outlining for the last few months. The book has lived in my mind since Pre-Covid era, through huge & prolonged personal/career stress, and finally started taking a solid shape over the last two years. The house belongs to one of my main characters and is (in this first draft of the manuscript, at least) one of the central locations in the storyline.

The goal is to create an atmosphere that feels private, romantic, cinematic, and a little old-Hollywood. White stucco, clay roof tiles, gorgeous LA views (Laughlin Park’s views are incredible😍), courtyards, ironwork, lantern & candle light, all nestled into a private, gated hillside enclave. Its own little refuge from the outside world.

I’ve already fallen in love with it through the Pinterest-boarding process & cannot waittttt to bring it to life in TS4.

A sales presentation is more than a pitch; it is a strategic tool for influencing decisions, driving growth, and reinforcing organizational credibility. Success begins with meticulous preparation: understand the audience, anticipate objections, and align your messaging with strategic priorities.

Structure content with clarity—open with a compelling introduction, highlight your product or service’s differentiated value, and conclude with a decisive call to action.
