Available to hire
Hi, I’m Alex Travell—a multidisciplinary VFX, animation, and projection mapping artist who loves turning spaces into immersive experiences. I design, code, and execute large-scale visuals that blend interactive animation, lasers, and architectural mapping to transform walls and volumes for high-volume events.
With hands-on expertise in Blender, Houdini, Unreal Engine, Maya, and the Adobe suite, I lead cross-functional teams to craft cohesive visual narratives from concept to delivery. I’m passionate about performance optimization and procedural workflows that scale from small installations to 3D-enabled performances.
