Hi, I’m Joe, a designer and 3D artist with 15+ years of experience shaping brands, websites, and 3D visuals for clients around the world. I love turning complex briefs into clear, compelling experiences, blending strategy with hands-on design and production.
After growing my own studio for the past nine years, I’ve led end-to-end branding, digital product design, and 3D workflows—from research and positioning to identity systems and production-ready assets. I’m comfortable with HTML, CSS, Webflow, and a wide range of design tools, always focused on delivering value and great collaboration.
