What TSVISUAL - Timothy Saunders 3d Illustration does

TSVISUAL (dba of Timothy Saunders) is a Salt Lake City, Utah-based freelance 3D illustration sole proprietorship that has been continuously operating since 2005. The firm produces 3D renderings, animations, and photo montages for architects, designers, product developers, and commercial property/hospitality clients worldwide, working from a wide range of input formats including Revit and SketchUp models, 2D CAD files, photographs, hand sketches, or verbal briefs. Its service menu spans six categories — Concept Illustration, Finished Realism, Product Illustration, Photo Montage, Animation, and Architectural Graphics — covering the full arc from loose, early-stage concept renderings through photo-realistic final imagery and on to video storytelling and signage/wayfinding visualization.

The underlying technology is conventional 3D rendering and visualization software rather than a proprietary platform; the differentiation rests on Timothy Saunders's 19+ years of experience (including 8 years in architecture and 2 years managing an illustration team), his flexibility across input formats, and his stylistic range from finished photo-realism to loose watercolor. Distribution is purely direct-to-client: clients reach the proprietor by phone (801-598-6588) or email ([email protected]) and commission individual projects, with marketing driven by the tsvisual.com portfolio site, a Facebook profile, and a YouTube channel. Revenue is earned through project-based one-time fees quoted individually per engagement; there are no recurring contracts, no channel partners, and no institutional investors.

The firm is bootstrapped, founder-owned, and has stated headcount of one. There is no evidence of subsidiaries, parent companies, funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, patents, or regulatory actions. Operating status is active and the business is accepting new commissions from clients globally.
