I love helping teams bring design visions to life with concept-driven 3D CGI renderings, animations, and technical illustrations. I provide build estimates, CNC-ready files, and shop drawings to ensure flawless execution of critical projects across experiential, retail, hospitality, and architectural contexts. I have 25+ years of experience spanning retail, experiential, event, hospitality, scenic, architectural, vehicle fabrication, CNC operations, metal, wood, and plastics. I work closely with clients to align budgets, manufacturing realities, and creative goals, using Rhino for true CAD data and KeyShot for photoreal renderings. My workflow emphasizes collaboration via Google Sheets, Slack, and Teams to keep milestones clear and fabrication-ready outputs fast.…I love helping teams bring design visions to life with concept-driven 3D CGI renderings, animations, and technical illustrations.
