About Create Visual

Experts in Digital Design Courses for Garden Design Professionals

Create Visual is your one stop shop for digital design training and support. Founded by John Wood, we provide flexible tuition on a wide variety of software, both iPad and desktop based. Dedicated to empowering designers with enhanced creative freedom through the use of convenient digital design techniques, our comprehensive courses are specifically tailored to teach designers the skills needed to create dynamic, professional-quality garden designs with efficiency and precision. Through years of supporting designers with digital drawing, visualisation and presentation workflows, I’ve developed an approach that focuses on practical application rather than overly technical processes. The goal is always to create workflows that feel intuitive, creative and genuinely useful in real client projects. Whether you're a student, a newly qualified garden designer or an experienced designer venturing into digital design for the first time, John's expert guidance will help you bring your creative visions to life.

Based on working with garden designers and landscape professionals across the UK, I’ve seen first-hand how important clear visual communication and efficient digital workflows have become within the industry. Create Visual was developed to help designers present ideas more effectively while maintaining a creative and practical design process.
