Creative 3D Generalist, Motion Designer, and Digital Artist with nearly a decade of professional experience producing high-quality visual content across animation, branding, advertising, and immersive digital media. My career began working on what was, at the time, the largest contiguous screen in the world, where I collaborated within a small creative team responsible for every stage of production. That experience gave me a deep understanding of the entire motion graphics pipeline, from concept development and design to animation, rendering, compositing, and final delivery across complex formats and resolutions. Over the years, I’ve created a diverse range of work including: • 3D Motion Graphics & Animation • Product & Brand Visuals • Advertising Campaigns • Logo Animation • Abstract & Experimental Visuals • Print & Digital Marketing Assets • Large-Scale Display Content As a 3D generalist, I’m comfortable adapting to different styles, workflows, and project requirements while maintaining a strong focus on visual quality, technical precision, and storytelling. My work combines creative problem-solving with a constant drive to learn new tools, techniques, and emerging industry trends. Tools & Software: • Cinema 4D • After Effects • Zbrush • Redshift • Adobe Creative Suite • Substance Painter
