Work Experience

3D designer at Airworks
December 1, 2018 - November 1, 2023
As a 3D designer at Airworks, I helped design the patterning for the Inflatable stage decor, as well as created the hi-resolution models and textures to be rendered and projected on the prints to make the structures come alive. It was very technical and diverse in my tasks that I had to complete, as well as fun and amazing to work on something that goes from a small computer screen, to a 50 meter tall statue.
Freelance 3D/2D graphic designer at self employed
November 1, 2023 - Present
When I left Airworks Inflatables, it was mainly because I felt the need to find my way back to the world of animation and personal development. My work and skills needed more time and freedom than what I was able to do while employed, so I decided to spread out my wings and start on a journey of self exploration. It has been challenging and frustrating, but at the same time it has been freeing and motivating to let myself go where my creative mind wants to go. I have learned new software, dabbled more and more into animation, and was even able to start working as as a tattoo artist which has really stimulated my illustration skills again. I can only be excited for what new things I might be able to do in the future.

    uniE608 Elf Self
    A self-portrait was a fun excuse to make myself into a sci-fi fantasy elf with bio-mechanical inner workings. Most of my animation shorts are a combination of confrontation of the real world and escapism.…
    uniE608 Magical Hands and Mystical Crystals
    With this animation, I wanted a fun animation for my site header. Something that would feel eerie yet mystical and magical. I got back to a more traditional pipeline in creating this video as well, going hi-res to low-res on the hands as well as rigging it afterwards and animating. I tend to use shape keys for my small and quick animations because most of the movements in them do not require a lot of control. These hands however needed some more finesse.…
