CAD Garage is an Integrated CADD Services Company.
CADGarage is an on-line store dedicated to Architects, Designers and Mac enthusiasts. Our goal is to provide the design community with the technology they need in order to excel in their creative endeavors. Our website, CAD garage, was started in November of 1997 in the early days of internet commerce. Pets.com and their sock puppet mascot are long gone but we're still here to serve our clients!
Integrated CADD Services (ICS) has been helping Architects with their technology needs since 1991. We offer a full line of computer hardware and software geared towards the design industry.
We partner with our clients to assess their needs, from delivery and implementation of equipment to training and support for themselves and their staff.
Here's a little info on some of our staff and their other lives:
Greg Conyngham President
Interests: Gardening, Mini Golf, Model Railroading
As the President of ICS I'll take the liberty of picking two items for each category!
Favorite CAD Garage software: Archicad and Piranesi. I've used Archicad for 18 years and it's simply the best design and modeling software available! It works like I think-in 3D, and we have completed CD's on over 200 projects using it's powerful Virtual Building (BIM) tools. Piranesi is an incredible non-photorealistic rendering tool and I'm able to create great looking renderings quickly and with ease that don't look like they were created on a computer.
Favorite CAD Garage hardware:
HP DesignJet 110 Plus. The HP DJ 110 plus breaks the price barrier for entry into large format output for the small design firm. And it also prints incredible color renderings!
The LaCie 2big Quadra is the perfect blend of storage capacity and manageability. Either as an external hard drive or as a backup RAID array, we breathe a little easier knowing these little guys have our back(up).
These are all products that are either unique and/or original in their category and remain as "Best of Class".
Valerie Conyngham Director of Marketing and Finance
Interests: Making (and eating) artisan chocolates, Graduate School (marketing), Events Committee Chair at the Algonquin Club
Favorite CAD Garage software: Apple's iLife '09. The main reason this is a must have for me, is it adds great features for making custom albums, greeting cards and more, all using your existing iPhoto library. I'm finding great uses for the other tools as well.
Favorite CAD Garage hardware: VersaLaser - It's a great business tool, but personally I use the VersaLaser to create custom stamps, engrave stationary and cut intricate designs in paper. It's my must have tool for making custom invitations (another hobby of mine).
Brian Clark Office Manager
Interests: Music, Art, Technology, Traveling
Favorite CAD Garage hardware: The Lacie IamaKey is simple, useful, and cool! This durable USB key fits right in on your keychain.
Favorite CAD Garage software: Maxon's Cinema 4D is one of the most powerful 3-D renders out there, used everywhere from Hollywood movie sets to Architect's offices.
Jaimee Baker Marketing Coordinator
Interests: Cape Cod, cop shows, refurbishing found furniture
Favorite CAD Garage software:
Adobe Creative Suite. I use these programs on a daily basis. Photoshop, InDesign, and the rest of the Creative Suite have the power, flexibility, and ease-of-use I need to create great designs quickly. I recommend it to designers and non-designers alike.
Favorite CAD Garage hardware:
Mac Mini. This product carries a whole lot of power in a conveniently tiny package. I hooked one of these up to my TV and now have a second, completely hidden computer in my living room. I can browse the web, download shows, organize pictures, all from my couch!
