L'Oréal Professional Trophy Design

I managed the end-to-end design and physical realization of a high-end sculptural trophy for the “L’Oréal Style and Color” competition broadcasted globally on YouTube from the Sheraton Hotel. Acting as the 3D Sculptor and Lead Maker, I translated a complex conceptual sketch into a balanced, fluid 3D model using Rhinoceros, artistically combining a colorist’s brush with an organic hair lock. I led the entire manufacturing and craftsmanship cycle, executing a 3D-printed high-resolution core followed by meticulous automotive-grade puttying, multi-stage manual sanding, and a specialized metallic silver coating. The final piece was engineered to be completely “camera-ready,” carefully considering light reflections and structural durability for on-stage handling under strict live-event deadlines.
