Worked with international clients to create custom 3D footwear models for production and marketing using Rhino, Blender, Grasshopper, KeyShot, Substance 3D, and related tools. Delivered custom modeling for uppers and soles, detailed prototypes, photorealistic renders, and virtual product presentations for client meetings and online usage. Integrated realistic textures and materials to closely match physical products, provided consulting on transitioning from physical to digital product development, and managed multiple freelance projects with timely communication and quality-focused delivery.

Created and optimized 3D models to reduce physical prototypes and sample timelines. Produced white models, renders, and shoe animations using Modo, Blender, KeyShot, Rhino, Grasshopper, Substance Painter/Designer. Built and maintained a digital product creation library covering shoes, lasts, tooling, materials, and accessories. Developed 3D PDFs for designers and stakeholders, supported configuration projects for Sketchfab, and trained brands, vendors, and partners on 3D creation processes and digital standards. Collaborated with design, merchandising, product development, technical design, sourcing, sales, and marketing to implement digital product creation capabilities.

Developed 2D and 3D models in collaboration with LO and HQ from tech packages through pre-production stage. Analyzed and modified tech packages, performed grading for full sizes, and supported recommendations for mold making and part design. Monitored mold progress to meet deadlines and resolve issues, coordinating with mold, sample room, costing, and PDM teams to achieve cost-effective optimal molds.
