As a Graphic Designer and 3D Modeler, I focus on creating well-structured 3D environments with strong attention to composition, lighting, and visual storytelling. My background in arts and graphic design has given me solid fundamentals that translate across different styles, including realistic rendering workflows. While most of my current portfolio leans toward stylized 3D, I’m highly motivated to expand into more realistic rendering, and I approach new visual challenges with curiosity, discipline, and a strong willingness to learn. I’m detail-oriented, proactive, and committed to continuously improving my technical and artistic skills to meet project needs.
