ABOUT
A consistent theme in my work is my knack for accurately translating 2D concepts into 3D physical and digital assets. Over the years, I have developed a strong sense of color, design, lighting, composition, and visual storytelling. My work as a fabricator has trained me to read and create blueprints, design to build, and understand engineering and materials, which can be useful even in purely digital environments. Working on sets and in photography has taught me the power of good lighting, an important skill that has translated well into enhancing my renderings. I love problem-solving, developing efficiencies in my 3D workflow, and learning new programs and developments. I am passionate about storytelling, animation, brand identity, visual development, product and environment design, and the future of AR and VR.
As a 3D artist, I am well-versed in Blender, Substance Painter, Illustrator, and Photoshop, with experience in Maya, Unreal Engine, Marvelous Designer, Substance Designer, Rhino, AutoCAD, ZBrush, and AR programs like Adobe Aero and Meta Spark Studio. I also have a lot of experience in rapid prototyping and know how to create watertight models for 3D printing and 2D designs for laser cutters and CNCs that will be assembled in 3D. I am constantly exploring new AI technologies and photogrammetry to enhance my efficiency as a 3D artist. If there is new 3D modeling software or processes I need to master, I am confident in my ability to learn them swiftly. My varied work experiences have contributed to my skills as an artist and designer and my ability to adapt quickly to new work environments, standards, technologies, and techniques.
Having done freelance work, I am well-organized, communicative, self-motivated, and comfortable assembling and directing a team, and outsourcing production when needed. That being said, I also excel when collaborating with a team and following directions. I have an agreeable personality, deeply value the input of others, and use feedback to enhance my work and continually refine my craft.
So, if you need a versatile and adaptable 3D artist, I'd love to chat and explore potential collaborations.
Thank you for taking the time to examine my work.
