Brian Carrick started in the home design industry 20 years ago as a draftsman at JCD Custom Home Design, a prestigious and award-winning firm. He gained the skill and ability to become a designer over the years. Eventually he became the lead designer for the firm.
Wanting to pursue higher education, Brian started studying Electrical Engineering at Utah State University. After six years of intense study and hard work, he graduated with a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in digital signal processing and communication systems. He formed lenzVR due to a struggle he experienced: with typical 2D and even 3D floor plans, it was still difficult for his customers to visualize their design.
With the advancement of virtual reality (VR) and it becoming more affordable, he immediately saw the potential for VR to revolutionize the architecture and design process. After years of dealing with home design customers he realized there were many who could not truly see what they were having him design, and it was difficult for him to visualize some of the more complex designs as well. With that in mind he wanted to take VR and apply it to the architecture and design process. Using his programming experience, Brian began writing software that would bridge the gap between CAD and VR.
