Education
BFA with magna cum laude honors from the Fashion Institute of Technology
Bio and Affiliation
I am a technical designer with a focus on digital three-dimensional workflows. Early in my career, I was trained in Alias Studio Tools. I learned to build my designs digitally to be 3D printed or CNC’ed. The files I created could also be 3D rendered, animated, and turned over to be engineered for production in digital 3D software.
After establishing these skills, I was able to leverage them in other related industries. I worked on multiple AAA videogames as a modeler focusing on character assets. My credits include Tripple Play Baseball 2000. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2X, Minority Report, Spider-Man, The Movie, Spider-Man The Movie 2, Ultimate Spider-Man. I was able to work in the performance car industry as a digital designer and CAD modeler, where I delivered the 2015 S302 Black Label contributing to other Saleen productions.
As an independent contractor, I have enjoyed helping clients from many industries. My 3D digital skills bridge CAD modeling to brush-based digital sculpting for rapid prototyping and manufacturing. I have designed unique products, taken 2D designs, and produced digital 3D designer models for rapid prototyping, trained art teams on production workflows, and established digital workflows for the production of consumer products.
I enjoy digital sculpting to produce my own artwork. I am exploring XR applications and crypto offerings as I grow and learn into the future.
