I started my career in 2008 working across packaging, illustration for print media, product development, photography, 3D modeling, and image retouching. Since 2012, I’ve worked professionally as a photographer, and I’ve been working as a 3D Generalist since 2020. I bring a photography-driven foundation in lighting, composition, and framing, combined with product design expertise in form and material detailing. I see 3D as an extension of both passions—using strong visual presentation to elevate any 3D project, from modeling and animation to image retouching.
