About

Senior 3D Artist and Concept Artist with 15+ years of experience delivering production-ready, high-fidelity visuals across automotive, industrial, film, and premium visualization. I specialize in CAD-based digital twin asset creation, physically accurate PBR rendering, and clean, structured 3D systems.

I also build garment and cloth models using CLO for character and product visualization, and I focus on scalable workflows—from concept and visual direction to implementation across offline and real-time pipelines.
