To all - I recently incorporated at the beginning of the year, and have been refocusing the name and mission of the company to better serve what I'm really doing - helping others bring their artistic vision to life. I've also revised my website to reflect this, so go and visit at www.matthewmyhrum.com. There are new images, clients, and a slightly shorter name. Enjoy!

At Matthew Myhrum Event Visualization, we provide concept renderings, design drawings, and production design services for event professionals.

Friends and colleagues - I'm wanting to create some nice looking marketing emails but, despite my great graphics skills, I don't know how to create those nice looking HTML/Mailchimp-subscribable emails.

If I were able to provide virtual video walkthroughs/fly-throughs of an event, would you find that valuable as a planner/designer? Let me know, as I'm considering adding it to my services.

I love how the fixture is beautiful in and of itself, and then how it literally projects patterns into the room. would love to see a colleague find a way to use this in a wedding. Perhaps in an entrance-way?

saw this image recently - thought it would be interesting if there were cherry blossoms or other floral on the branches...but most of all, surprised I don't see floral displayed "encased" in museum style. I understand that there are condensation issues, which could be solved by having an open top, or simply by making a metal frame with no glass, only creating the illusion that it's in a box. thoughts?
