Designs in Mozaik
Works for Millwork shops and homeowners
Why we exist
Cabinet and millwork shops are built to produce. Design software, and the time it takes to learn it, pulls good builders away from the work they do best.
Atlantis Designs takes on that design work, so shops can focus on production, and so homeowners can see their cabinetry before it is built.
Why Mozaik
Mozaik is cabinet design and manufacturing software. One job can produce renderings, shop drawings and cut lists, so what the client approves and what the shop builds come from the same design.

David is a mechanical engineer (B.Sc., University of Banja Luka). Before 2006, David worked in mechanical, structural and software engineering in Yugoslavia, England, Germany and Canada. David has used AutoCAD for over 25 years and designs cabinetry in Mozaik.
Since 2006, David has run Atlantis Projects Ltd, a construction company in the Vancouver area working on high-end custom homes and commercial projects. The design work there was architectural, millwork and stone design: full CAD drawing sets, shop drawings, site measures and fabrication specs, seen through fabrication and installation in coordination with sub-trades, engineers and clients.
Atlantis Designs now takes over from Atlantis Projects, focused on design and drafting. The drawings come from someone who has built and installed what they draw.
