Projects in New BerlinProjects in New BerlinVIM (vimaec.com (http://vimaec.com)) is a data analysis platform for the AEC industry — architecture, engineering, and construction. Its tagline is "Ask your Building Anything."
The core idea: BIM (Building Information Modeling) files like Revit and IFC contain enormous amounts of valuable data, but that data is usually trapped inside design software and hard to query, share, or analyze downstream. VIM extracts and transforms it into a SQL-ready format that plugs into tools like Power BI, enabling architects, contractors, and property developers to run analytics, audits, and reporting on their building data.
A few notable details:
They created the open-source VIM file format — a compact, efficient 3D data format optimized for runtime rendering and carrying relational BIM data, with the spec and tooling on GitHub.
It supports use cases like digital twins at LOD 500, BIM content analysis, regulatory audits (e.g., higher-risk building reports), and converting Revit models to formats like FBX or web-viewable 3D.
Clients include Microsoft, AECOM, RIB, and Sam's Club, and they've previously partnered with Magic Leap for AR-based BIM visualization. I finally get to share something I've been pouring my heart into over the past week.
For the Squarespace Make It Real Challenge, I built LuminHer Designs—my boutique creative studio focused on thoughtful brand identity, website design, and digital assets.
My goal wasn't just to build a website, but to create an experience that felt warm, intentional, and editorial while exploring Squarespace's Finish Layer tools through subtle animations, responsive layouts, and layered design.
This is honestly just the beginning. Like any creative business, LuminHer will continue to evolve, and I already have a list of ideas I can't wait to add. But today, I'm celebrating this milestone and how far it's come.
