Senior 3D Artist with 6+ years of experience delivering photorealistic CGI across furniture, digital fashion, and luxury product visualization for clients in the United States and Latin America. I combine strong creative execution with a technical, process-driven mindset to optimize pipelines and reduce render production time dramatically. I handle end-to-end production—from technical drawing interpretation and asset modeling to lighting, rendering, animation, and final compositing—often replacing physical sampling with production-ready digital workflows and leveraging AI-assisted steps to accelerate output without sacrificing visual fidelity.
