WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THE AI MASTERCLASS?
-
ATTRACT PREMIUM PROJECTS WITH PHOTOREALISTIC IMAGES
In this section, I’ll teach you how to use Midjourney to create beautiful, photorealistic images super fast—for mood boards, social media, and your website. And most importantly: how to write really good prompts.
-
MAKE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON CUSTOMERS DURING THE CONCEPT PHASE
Forget Pinterest images. With Midjourney and Nano Banana Pro in Magnific, you can quickly create stunning mood boards using your own images—images that showcase your design vision as applied to your clients’ actual spaces. Even if you only have floor plans to work with.
-
CREATE BEAUTIFUL RENDERS IN MINUTES
You've created a scene in your 3D model. In the past, you had to hire someone to do the rendering, or wait hours yourself until your image was ready. This rendering on the right took me 2 minutes.
In this section, I'll show you how to do that yourself in Magnific—even starting from a hand-drawn sketch, without using SketchUp.
-
DESIGN & EDIT IN JUST A FEW MINUTES
You'll learn how to quickly customize renders and photos with different furniture, lighting, and materials. You'll also learn how to use Magnific to turn an image into a 3D model for your SketchUp file. Plus, a quick look at the latest developments in SketchUp AI.
And much more!
-
MAKE YOUR FINAL PRESENTATION AN EXPERIENCE
Moving images make a bigger impression than still images. I'll show you how to animate your renders and designs so your clients can truly experience the spaces.
-
LET CLAUDE / CHATGPT DO YOUR BORING WORK
I'm also going to briefly show you how you can get ChatGPT or Claude to do some of your boring work for you. That way, you'll have more time for the fun part: designing!
LEARN HOW TO WORK WITH AI
FROM AN INTERIOR DESIGNER
Hi, I'm Marielle van Essen.
After 20 successful years as a criminal defense attorney in Amsterdam, I decided to pursue my other passion: interior design.
I soon realized how much time the job took. Creating mood boards, building SketchUp models, incorporating revisions—and consistently working more hours than I was paid for.
That changed when I started using AI three years ago. By making smart use of the right tools, I was able to save about 8 hours a week, leaving me more time for the creative part of my work. That freedom also gave me the flexibility to work internationally, including in Spain.
My enthusiasm for AI grew so much that I started training other interior design studios. That’s how the MVE Academy came to be.
I look forward to seeing you at one of the LIVE AI MASTERCLASSES in Amsterdam or Utrecht!
CRAFTMANSHIP COMES FIRST,
AI SUPPORTS
“As a designer and AI trainer, craftsmanship and creativity are always my top priorities. AI will never replace that; AI assists.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS EXPERIENCE REQUIRED?
No, whether or not you’ve worked with AI before: I’ll teach you how to write really effective prompts (how to communicate with AI). I’ll teach you how to achieve exactly the style you want. I’ll teach you how to create interior images that are indistinguishable from the real thing.
1
WHAT DO I NEED?
A laptop, a separate mouse, and a good web browser, such as Google Chrome.
You can also just watch along, but if you want to participate, I recommend a one-month subscription to www.Midjourney.com and www.magnific.com. It’ll cost you a few tens, and you can cancel right away if you want (but I guarantee you won’t :)
2
WHERE SHOULD I GO?
On October 27, we’ll be in Amsterdam at the amazing creative hub Fosbury & Sons, Prinsengracht 769, 1017 JZ Amsterdam. On November 4, we’ll be in Utrecht at the beautiful Quinton House.

I'M NOT TECH-SAVVY!
Believe me, neither am I. But the AI platforms' websites are very easy to use. And I'll teach you exactly how. You won't need to install any software on your computer—let alone complicated software. You'll always be working in the cloud. The most important thing with AI is learning how to prompt it effectively (talking to AI).
