What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote opportunities where I can create high-detail 3D models—hard surface, architectural viz, and characters—and optimize them for real-time engines, collaborating with other artists and developers.

I’m a 3D modeling professional with more than 6 years of experience, focused on turning strong ideas into polished, game-engine-ready work. I bring an excellent knowledge of Blender and Maya, with expertise in hard surface modeling, interior design, and architectural visualization.

Since March 2022, I’ve worked as an Interior designer, where I designed and implemented interior concepts for residential and commercial spaces. I’ve collaborated with clients to understand needs, selected furniture/materials/color schemes, and coordinated design plans with architects and contractors.

Earlier, I worked as a 3D Freelance Artist and a Junior 3D Artist, creating high-quality 3D models for product design and animation, furniture design, and architectural modelisation. I also rely on Unreal Engine and Unity to optimize and convert models, and I back my practice with courses in environment creation, geometry nodes, procedural volumetrics, and character animation.
