"Where drafting meets design."
"We don't design in order to have clients, we have clients in order to design."
Our History
Although we formed in 2000 as a company, high school is where it all started. Being not yet a high school graduate, Matt was already drafting different designs for teachers as projects. Matt placed in the top 35 state wide for best architectural house design while attending high school. He then began work at an A/E firm right after high school and started college. He placed 2nd in his class for best presented and designed residential homes. It was during this time ShawCADesign would be started. Graduate with a degree in Architecture and Engineering and has never looked back. Over the past 19+ years ShawCADesign has become very well known, over all the state of Indiana, for drawing simple remodels to 15,000 sq. ft. homes. We've also designed homes for the 6 BAGI Home a Rama.

Come and see why so many builders and people look to us to design their new home.
Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
- Mark Twain
Through all of living have much joy and laughter, life is to be enjoyed not just endured. - Gordon B. Hinckley
Never forget why you're designing in the first place
No matter how you do it, leave your mark, but do it right.

This is Matt. He likes to design houses.
Matt's path to becoming an residential designer was as direct as they come. When he was a young adolescent, he was already determined to be the best residential designer. 18+ years later he can still say that today. . .
