We had the good fortune of connecting with Erick Silva and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erick, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I started my own business, Design Complete LLC, because I wanted the freedom to work on projects that inspire me and align with my vision. I’ve always been passionate about design and architecture, and I saw an opportunity to offer high-quality renders and visualizations to clients who need them.
At the beginning, I noticed that many architects, real estate developers, and interior designers needed high-end visual representations for their projects but often struggled to find affordable yet high-quality services. I realized that with my skills, I could provide customized and professional solutions that meet their needs.
Instead of working under a company where my creativity and pricing would be limited, I decided to launch my own brand. It allowed me to set my own standards, pricing, and project selection, while also building strong client relationships. Most of my initial clients came through word-of-mouth referrals, and that motivated me to keep growing.
Now, my goal is to expand my client base, reach out to more firms, and establish Design Complete LLC as a go-to studio for premium architectural visualization. I’m also exploring different strategies to attract new clients and scale my business efficiently.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Success is never a solo journey, and I owe a lot to the people who have supported me along the way. First and foremost, I want to give a huge shoutout to my family and close friends—their encouragement and belief in me gave me the confidence to start Design Complete LLC and pursue my passion for architecture and 3D visualization.

I also want to recognize the clients and colleagues who trusted me early on, recommended my work, and helped me build my reputation. Word-of-mouth referrals played a big role in my business growth, and I’m truly grateful for that.

Overall, my journey has been shaped by a combination of support, learning, and community, and I’m thankful for everyone who has played a part in it!
