Tarsier 3D Studio

About Us

The name "Tarsier 3D Studio" is inspired by tarsiers, which are small primates. These animals exhibit traits that resemble a dedicated designer deeply immersed in a project. Additionally, tarsiers possess the ability to rotate their necks 180 degrees in either direction, which is analogous to the flexibility required in 3D design.

Darrin Lewis, the owner of Tarsier 3D Studio, has a background in construction and architectural design. Before becoming a designer, Darrin owned and operated companies involved in construction and architectural visualization, and he was an inventor. Over the years, he collaborated with General Contractors to create 3D models for their projects. These models were used to produce architectural renderings to ensure alignment among the General Contractor, Owner, and Tradesman. While managing LGD Construction, Darrin was actively engaged in overseeing projects and performing labor tasks. He eventually sold his share of LGD Construction to his partner Jenn Lewis and established Tarsier 3D Studio to focus exclusively on architectural design. Jenn Lewis subsequently founded Ghigau Construction.

Darrin's experience is detailed below in reverse chronological order.
