Our Story

2000 – Jayson Noftle, a gifted architectural rendering artist, ventured out on his own from Focus Architecture to further develop his talents & skills, and his business acumen. Using his wide spectrum of styles & mediums for renderings, he started West Coast Illustration. Jayson quickly developed a reputation for completing projects on time & budget. As a result, Jayson attracted many clients, who over time began requesting advice on more than just renderings – graphic design, branding, marketing & creative materials, etc.

2011 – Jeremy Noftle, a senior draftsman with Focus Architecture for 20 years, had developed a well-balanced graphic design skill set over that time by creating presentation graphics & technical drawings covering many real estate developments for a huge cross-section of clients. He decided to make the jump to become a partner with Jayson, they moved their office into the newly-renovated Mill Tower in Abbotsford, and West Coast Illustration transformed into WCI Media Studios to better reflect the expansion of services offered.

2015 – Tanner Cervo, accounts manager with WCI Media Studios, and childhood friend of Jeremy’s, bought Jayson’s ownership share in WCI and became Jeremy’s new partner. Since joining forces, utilizing Tanner’s excellent ability to communicate, Jeremy’s eye for detail and quality, and the amazing talents of the WCI staff members, WCI has grown into an 11-person team of creative 3D artists, graphic designers, and interactive programmers.
