I’m a 3D modeler and surface designer with a strong passion for creating technically advanced and aesthetically appealing cars. I blend creativity with CAD-driven precision, working with tools like CATIA, Autodesk Alias, Maya, and ICE to develop exterior and detail-focused vehicle models, including full car build work for concept vehicles. I enjoy collaborating with innovative people and I’m especially motivated by refining designs through iterative review, clear assembly thinking, and training others on new car models. Alongside my automotive experience, I bring hands-on production and assembly familiarity from the Volvo truck environment, and I also have a caring assistant background that shaped how I communicate, support others, and stay focused on safety and quality.
