About

A passionate, self-taught 3D designer with an eye for beautiful colors, textures, and shapes.

Projects

Ongoing

I am designing the book cover for The Next Page Book, a collaborative project between 150+ writers around the globe. Proceeds of this book project will be donated to mental health charities.

2022

I created stylized 3D assets for the British award-winning television series 'Taskmaster' using Blender and Adobe Lightroom. The assets were commissioned as marketing and social media assets. The project was also converted to STL for 3D printing as set props for future seasons of the television series.

2022

I created organic and abstract 3D assets for Facebook NPE (new product experimentation) using Blender. The digital assets were commissioned for branding and marketing of Useful, a mentorship platform. The abstract, fluid nature of these flux shapes represents perpetual transfer of knowledge.

Side Projects

2022

36 Days of Type is an annual challenge that invites designers to express their interpretation of the letters and numbers of the Latin alphabet. I used this challenge to experiment with textures and colors of a soft and satisfying palette.
