## About

```text
As a Freelance Visual Designer, I create design, motion, and video projects for social, branding, and advertising-style formats. I build 3D and CGI scenes in Blender and Maya, integrating CG elements into live-action footage through camera tracking, compositing, and lighting.

My BFA final project, “Nike: The 4 forces,” was a conceptual ad inspired by the four elements of nature. I also expanded the environment of “After The Rain” in 3D, using the concept to support visual storytelling.
